Fact Roulette starts with the relationship between the human and technology. The use of technology harbors a latent risk that manifests itself in the form of accidents. Far from categorizing the impacts of technology as either positive or negative per se, Fact Roulette reflects on the randomness and unpredictability of technological disasters by employing digital errors and dynamic data segmentation as creative means.

Since technology includes any new and improved way to do things, the categories of technological disasters go beyond information technology. Accidents in transportation, mines, clubs, schools, factories, nuclear plants, oil platforms etc., are events inherent to human progress.

Fact Roulette relies on the EM-DAT classification of technological disasters to categorize accidents into water, rail, air, explosion, chemical spill, fire, poisoning, collapse, road, radiation etc. The different types of technological disasters and their incidence are classified by country and year.

The accidents are represented by a geometry that transforms itself with the data of the individual disaster types, creating dynamic 3D sculptures.

The installation activates content automatically or manually through an infinite rotary switch/knob that reveals the influence of the human factor in the development of technological catastrophes. 

The sound design includes a sound field that produces interferences and interrupted sounds during interaction with the installation.
