In one channel a smart voting machine algorithm ...seems to persuade the viewer that it would be the only legitimate leader in a modern democracy, as it is simply identifying majorities and minorities.
Another channel shows parsed Google page rank algorithm results for major words in the political discourse, such as democracy and justice and shows what can be learned when following the first 3 pages of results in Google's order.
This installation reflects on the discussion on democracy and the role commercial agents and communication technology have in the discussion.
The work plays with the image of omnipresent black boxes such as voting booths, our communication devices, Google's page rank, Facebook's trending topics and the general question: Who is talking?
