Endnode (AKA Printer Tree)
2002, plywood, inkjet printers, 8 1/2" x 11" office paper, cables, computer, email discussion lists
Beta Launch: Eyebeam Artists in Residence '02, Eyebeam Atelier, New York, NY
Endnode is a networked sculpture that literally
and figuratively represents the branching of
the Internet. Printers nested within the plywood
branches of a large “tree” produce hard copies of
emails that fall to the ground like leaves or apples,
becoming “endnodes” in the worldwide information flow.
The general aesthetic of the piece is home-made
“Franken-tree.” The emails come from a list created
for the project that is centered on art, technology,
and communication. Online avatars M. River and T. Whid
guide the project.
