	testmachine 2007, loop With testmachine (2007) we look at an object in a projection, which looks similar to a question mark. Like an absurd oracle it gives out a “Yes” or “No” every few seconds seemingly without any discernible system. A plastic toy serves as the basis of this video-work, which gives out its verdict when a button is pressed. Through the video-technical manipulation, this operating possibility is removed. Thus the object answers completely unquestioned, continuously with yes and no. Thus, it provokes the observer to complete the situation with questions of his/her own and to start to communicate with the picture.  Michael Pohl
