Work form 33 Questions per Minute
“33 Questions Per Minute consists of a computer program which uses grammatical rules to combine words from a dictionary and generate 55 billion unique, fortuitous questions. The automated questions are presented at a rate of 33 per minute –the threshold of legibility– on 21 tiny LCD screens encrusted on the support columns of the exhibition hall or mounted on a wall. The system will take over 3,000 years to ask all possible questions. By means of a keyboard, members of the public can introduce any question or comment into the flow of automatic questions. Their participation shows up on the screens immediately and is registered by the program.” – Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
