Summary
The Work of Human Rights in the Age of Mechanical Keyboards is a networked art project in which anyone with this extension installed will be contributing every keystroke typed in their browser to a collaborative redaction of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Every completed copy will then be e-mailed to individuals around the world who could use a reminder.
DISCLAIMER - While this extension asks for invasive permissions, it does not gather or store any personal information (e.g. IP address, location, which key was pressed) it only forwards any keypress to the main website.
