Think Harder, More Thought Required

How often do you find yourself waiting passively behind your screen upon being confronted by the infamous ‘beach ball of doom’ – that multi-coloured circular icon signifying an unresponsive computer program. With her installation, Rosa van Heusden invites us to question the presumed intelligence of modern technology. At the same time, it is a gentle reminder not to put our own thought processes on hold, just because of a machine malfunction.
