“A forced collaboration in communication”

Give me a break is an installation with one keyboard broken in half. Two persons, not able to verbally communicate with each other can chat with a chatterbot. Each has only half of the alphabet to his disposal, which forces them to type words together without knowing what to type. This project is partly an experiment to see what will happen and partly looks at the animal kingdom (and back at our ancient cultures) where communication takes place on a different level.
