Control.Burble.Remote by Usman Haque

Control.Burble.Remote premiered in Barcelona in February 2010 and mixed aspects of Mini-Burble with a new interaction mode using remote controls (any remote control... video remotes, TV remotes, etc.). Remote controls are most familiar to us as instruments of confinement: they require us to adopt strict, home-bound and consumption-oriented relations to our technological devices, appliances and gadgets. They are individualistic, domestic and atomised objects that control us more than we control them. In Control.Burble.Remote, this relationship is turned inside-out. The public becomes the performer of the spectacle and the relationship of people to their remotes and to each other is externalised, communal, and urban.

300 computers all autonomous-talking to each other,all talking to the audience . no way to speculate what might happen..
