"TESTING THE COLLECTIVE"

Amsterdam, 2008

Installation with computer surveys

This work deals with personalities and politics, using questions from 14 existing online surveys on personality, morality and politics. Mixed up, revaluated and rephrased, they form a series of new surveys.

The tests are rewritten using ‘we’ instead of the usual ‘I’ and give a single statement about ‘us’ after completion.
The work forces its users to think of themselves as (part of) a collective.

There are 391 questions in total. None of the data or statistics are saved or analysed. The survey is presented in a work station-like setup.
