To do so, 27 packages were shipped out from Berlin via the logistics services provider DHL.

Depending on which side is scanned, they change directions multiple times. A TV screen in the gallery shows the recordings of the movements for each parcel, documenting the surrealist journey of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The now-empty boxes are presented in the gallery as the remaining envelope of the work and skeletons of the process.<br>The work experiments with forcing a decision-making process on the postal system which does not usually decide \u2013 only routes. The work reinterprets <em>The Postman\u2019s Choice<\/em> by Ben Vautier from the year 1965 in which a postal worker decides where a postcard that has two delivery addresses is finally to be sent. As it was back then, the standard rule in digital shipping operations is that for every shipping unit there must be one sender and one clear recipient. In today\u2019s fully automated logistics systems, it is no longer the postman\u2019s choice, but rather a question of which side of a parcel is \u201cup\u201d for the automated scanning process to read. The logistics system works mechanically by means of barcodes, scanners and programmed directives. Until the human supervisor spots and corrects the anomaly of the undecided recipient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS seeks out the imperfections in the logistic systems in which nowadays computers calculate nearly all necessary decisions.
