Taking up where Fischli + Weiss left off, Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys continue the unchecked carefree edging comedic nihlism; already systematized into the production line it was always already fit into. "The sensation of boredom and nausea that the programs cause in me are experiential proof that I am not completely programmed," as the PR quotes. The so slight tangent they provide to the moor of modern life - afternoons spent drawing trollies - meant as an acerbic aloofness, an "abuse of time," could be soothing to nervous bones, but also has already accepted the defeat expected, a Naumanian irony extended to the long view, a symptom soothing, anesthetic, numbing fun.
