Descriptions & Essays
"33 Questions per Minute" consists of a computer program which uses gramatical rules to combine words from a dictionary and generate 55 billion unique, fortuituous 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 Wilfredo Lam Art Center. A keyboard allows participants to log on to the building and add their own questions to the automatic flow.
