Was Verbindet Uns?
What connects Us

Aline Martinez, Christian Doeller and Rachel Smith
Material:
Cement, band wood
What happens when we solve questions that are usually posed to machines? Would it change how we relate to one another and could it alter how we see ourselves in society? Unlike computers, humans use emotional parameters to solve their problems. A computer follows preprogrammed rules and repeats itself over and over again, responding to outside stimlii only as it was designed to. By interacting with this installation and sorting the colours, the ribbons interchange and, step by step, a pattern is woven. This pattern is a historical archive of how the previous visitors have solved the problem over time.
