That was my four cents worth addition to a very interesting exhibit that’s been put up at the Museum of Modern Arts (or MoMA, as it’s commonly called). The exhibition titled “Automatic Update” reflects on the confluence of design art and technology. One of the installations called “33 questions per minute” put up by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, invites all visitors to type out a question which it first flashes on an LCD display. Then a computer algorithm takes random words from different questions and combines them to form new questions which are perfect syntax but complete nonsense. I saw some like “How hot is the speed of pumpkin?” or a beautiful “Why is sex faster than dreams?”
As the write up to the installation said, the installation adds more dimensions to the age old question of how long will it take for a chimpanzee randomly hitting at a keyboard churn out Hamlet. Maybe because of my question now, hamlet will jugad his way through his foes in the Automatic Update version of Hamlet being written out the MoMA
