General Notes
Note
Verostko made these decision machines as an homage to Norbert Wiener, a pioneer in the field of cybernetics. Electronic works of conceptual art, the machines playfully interact with the idea of chance and show how decisions are made when rational argument fails. As the artist explained, “these machines work like [the] flip of [a] coin. Press a button and one of two lamps remains lit with a decision.”
