Desktop BAM is a performance piece entailing controlling a mouse cursor to play on desktops. It's a direct homage to turntablism, born from using turntables in unconventional ways. The title BAM is taken from Afrika Bambaataa, a pioneer of early hip hop. The dynamism of the piece is created by the mouse cursor, which moves faster and more accurately than is possible by mere humans. The movements trigger the audience's physicality, while at the same time suggesting "the physicality of computers" controlled by humans.
