Art out of old computer keycaps might be a crazy idea, but for me old keycaps are pure paint. Paint that comes along with its own history. Used by countless hands, the caps have been squeezed, hacked, touched. To write messages, programs, emails, important and insignificant, permitted and forbidden things. The artworks remind us of a time when the world was still more analog and pixels on the screen were still visible.

Thank you so much Toru Iwatani.
