Palacz installed a software-keylogger on his home computer from June 2008 until February 2010 which served as an interface between keyboard and operating system therefore every entry on the keyboard was registered. The system output of the keylogger of this time period constitutes END TELL. END TELL is an empirical study of the first step of human-computer interface. A so-called “neuroprint” of the relationship between computer and man. END TELL is criminal profile and artistic expression of digital literature, because its means of existence is software.
