We modified this machine by adding sensors that measure the user’s various body data.<\/p>\n

On a scale between 0 and 100 an ego level is indicated and in the background a portrait of the artists can be seen. When a user touches the two sensors on the machine, an indicator needle starts to move vigorously.<\/p>\n

Additionally a mysterious sound is created during this process. Each user generates a different measurement that translates into how much he or she likes the artists.<\/p>\n

Once the measurement is completed, a mechanical counter adds one more number. Every exhibition and interaction adds to the ego increase of the artists.<\/p>\n
