Welcome to my Homepage presents 60,000 Cursor Archive by Everest Pipkin.
Project Description
This month Everest Pipkin has been working behind the scenes on the 60,000 Cursor Archive, unveiled IRL at The Museum of Human Achievement last weekend. The installed work featured 60,000 collectively-sourced mouse cursors from Geocities-era internet, sorted automatically by machine-vision (as best it can). During their residency, Pipkin also trained a neural-net to generate new cursors based on the original archive. The NN Cursor Set is available for download.
