The installation is based on semiconductor crystals &#8211; the basic commodity of information technology. The installation in the Project Space of the Ernst Schering Foundation consists of five interlinked modules that use the varied electrical and mechanical particularities and characteristics of crystals and minerals and, through their networking, form a kind of primitive macroscopic signal processor.<br \/>\n\u201cIrrational Computing\u201d is not supposed to \u201cfunction\u201d \u2013 its aim is to search for the poetic elements on the border between \u201caccuracy\u201d and \u201cchaos&#8221; amplifying the mystic and magic side of these materials.<br \/>\nIRRATIONAL COMPUTING was developed during a three-month project residency, which was made possible by DOCK e.V. with support from the Ernst Schering Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>related lecture program <em>&gt;&gt;&gt; <\/em><em> <em><br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<\/em><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Dienstag, 8.11.2011, 18:30 Uhr<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Tuesday, November 8, 2011, 6:30 p.m.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Universal or Random?
