Samar H's and Alex J's Mouse Hack

Alex J and Samar H created a project called DO NOT OPEN, referring to the privacy stickers so often placed on journals or personal files. The project is a book that exclaims, "No! I Said no! Nooooooooooooooooooo!" and "Don't open me!" when you open its two covers. Speakers and a mouse chip are inside the fake book, and 'wires' made of aluminum foil and gold leaf form connections that activate the book to talk when one disrupts those connections by opening the flaps.

The concept was to test existing notionsof privacy and curiosity. e.g. when one finds a jounral on the ground, one is tempted to read it, but also driven by thier conscience to respect privacy and not open it. DO NOT OPEN manifests the inner thoughts of guilt that run through anyone's mind when opening a document, text or otherwise that is probably not privy to thier eyes.
