The Dysfunctional Eating Machine
The Dysfunctional Eating Machine is a sound installation comprised of a motorised machine and a TV screen. A looping mechanism allows the machine to “eat” in front of a TV, which shows a series of people (also eating) watching the machine. The videos shown on the screen are taken from a call sent out in October 2019, asking people to film themselves for a minute during a meal. The machine moves in a very noisy way, it loops a few times before starting to throw food and eventually breaks down.
