Hamsterhjulet

In the work Hamsterhjulet (The Hamster Wheel) you're trudging along in the giant, physically tangible and slightly sluggish wheel to make your way through a virtual labyrinth of endless corridors. These spaces are reminiscent of our contemporary relationship to the workplace as an administrative place, but the question is what is being administered and what constitutes real work. The labyrinth leads us further into a data centre that contains all the world's questions and answers. An endless archive where every thought has already been thought. But what are the answers worth if no one is capable of turning words into action?
