Outline
MMIX (Roman numerals for 2009) is a timeless work in four interactive tableaux, where each visitor is invited to follow with his eyes and ears to what his mouse gestures reveal. At each touch, sound and visual elements are randomly muddled up on the screen, creating new combinations always. This work humor and drama are cruelly mixed to suggest the sad patterns of our contemporary reality.
