Partly inspired by Franz Kafka's "In the Penal Colony", partly by the American system of capital punishment, and partly by events during the second Iraq war, the piece is an ironic approach to killing and torture machines. A moving megaphone speaker encircles an electric dental chair. The chair is covered in pink fun fur with leather straps and spikes. In the installation two robotic arms hover and move-sometimes like a ballet, and sometimes attacking the invisible prisoner in the chair with pneumonic pistons. For the spectacular dénouement a disco ball turns above the mechanism reflecting an array of coloured lights while a guitar hit by robotic drumsticks wails and a wall of old TVs turns on and off creating an eerie glow.
