Don't Answer Be Happy

The installation "Don't Answer Be Happy" creates an interactive experience in which everything revolves around the personal smartphone. Engrossed in a conversation between their own personal smartphone and the surrounding artificial intelligence, visitors are compelled to take a stand. Confrontations with the ambivalence of digital reality arise, and evasion is not possible. The experienced space invites reflection on the digital colonization regarding people and regions of this world outside of global tech hotspots.
