With their work »Orakel« media artist Robert Darroll and composer Sean Reed subject the construction of (subjective) reality to scrutiny. By means of a touchscreen visitors may consult an »Orakel«. Here, the work draws on randomly guided forms of ritual search for meaning and, as analogy, uses a databank with various animated films and soundfiles, from which various sequences of answers are compiled according to aleatoric principles. Thus, with each interview there results a new mosaic of questions and answers.
