A machine that makes no sense, which partially synthesizes nonsense and an inversion of paradigms, presents the idea of defining the notion of information and its effect on creating consciousness, thus conceptually expounding the notions of reality and truth, as well as illusion and absurdity. Visually, the work resembles the control desks of the past, with metal panels for data measurements and managing different systems. The perfectly precise and absolutely pertinent drawings needed for the proper functioning of working control desks, are here filled with crossed lines, illogical and completely useless in the potential intent to correct the use of its content. Irregular, deformed vectors and fields that merge with the controls, safety lights, plaques with short textual instructions for the use of the machine and stickers with printed warnings, are completed with several screens displaying banal video collages that contain materials partially taken from the internet, combined with private authorial segments from a virtual archive.

The machine is accompanied by a series of drawings on paper made up of visualisations of actual data measurements in the form of diagrams taken from different websites, intended for accurate representation. Through subsequent intervention, additional “data” has been applied to the drawings, by which such twisted content corresponds to a machine, while, combined, they make up an imaginarium of a snippet of a system used to attempt to disentangle and elucidate the transfer of data, information and communication.

The object gives form to daily encounters with content to which we pay more or less attention, but which to a great extent structures our actions and activity through a subtle manipulation of the network.
