From: auto no maton Category: Art Date: 21 February 2008 Time: 06:06 PM Review: I don't know but I think that there is something interesting to be said about the mindlessness of machines, but I am not sure that any one has managed to do so. At Hauser and Wirth the automatic lawn mower bumps in to the chairs, and I can kind of see this as a kind of mating ritual, also a kind of mindless activity. A series of videos document the effects of water on different objects, do we want to see all these actions as having emotional mental intent. Watching the videos or the lawn mower I think that I can't help but see it as a little human with an odd approach to life. Well done Roman Signer.
