How Random – Is Random

‘How Random – Is Random’ is a screensaver installation designed for two computer screens. A large number of eastern proverbs, split in half, are randomly recombined to form new proverbs. In this case randomness often proves to be loaded with unexpected humor…

‘How Random – Is Random’ was created as part of a WILLIE exhibition in KCO, Zwolle. There are two fixed computer screens in the exhibition space of KCO, that have to stay in place and in use. I decided to use them for my own purposes and make these screens part of the exhibition.
