Interface Cultures When you pull on Maus1’s tail, its body and eyes begin to glow. When you shove it into the mouth of the initially inactive snake, energy supplied via magnet contact makes the snake’s body and eyes glow. Maus2 is awakened to virtual life when it makes physical contact with the other member of its species: nose-rubbing as a form of greeting brings together two magnets. The flow of electricity makes the second creature glow, and the ears of the two mice twitch gleefully.
