YOU vs. COMPUTER

Some days I feel like my computer is my best friend.  She’s responsible and efficient and does so much for me and I could not do work or life or anything without her.  Other times she fails me and loses a file and I really really just want to fight her.  

I decided that I had to make this possible.  

This is an interactive installation where you get to compete against the processing power of your computer with your physical strength!! You can basically outrun your computer and make it crash.

The more you move, the more complex and cpu intensive the geometry in the middle becomes, making the program glitchy and run slower until it eventually stops or maybe crashes.  When the Windows bottom nav bar pops up it means the computer is REALLY freaking out and about to crash.  I learned that the hard way - by this I mean losing 3 hours of work.  It’s honestly what I get for fighting my computer.
