Mike Moore and Jesse McLaren are doing a cool project in Prof Kanarek’s Internet as Public Art Class. They’ve placed sound recorders above the urinals in the mens bathrooms over in the Visual Arts building. People can push a button to record their thoughts or push another button to listen to previous visitors. They see it as a kind of audio graffiti and have designed the device accordingly. Check it out!
