33 QUESTIONS PER MINUTE consists of a computer program which uses gramatical rules to combine words from a dictionary and generate 55 billion unique, fortuituous questions. The automated questions are presented at a rate of 33 per minute --the threshold of legibility-- on 21 tiny LCD screens encrusted on the support columns of the Exhibition space. A keyboard allows participants to log on to the building and add their own questions to the automatic flow. With the assistance of Will Bauer, Conroy Badger, Ana Parga, María Velarde Torres, Luis Jiménez-Carlés, Luis Parga, Gabriela Raventós and Rebecca MacSween.

Please check the coverage of the piece at the Universes-in-Universe site, where there are more photos and an interview.
