This project by artist Kevin Hamilton is called “Dept. of Rhythmanalysis: Dupage” and consists of 60 interconnected control panels with panel mount LEDs that signify local and global absurd conditions such as “INHALE / EXHALE, YOU’RE HERE / YOU’RE NOT, DEMOCRATIC WHITE HOUSE / REPUBLICAN WHITE HOUSE and BARBARA IS IN / BARBARA IS OUT”. The indicators on each unit displays the current status of this logic and the machines audibly toggle back and forth in varying speeds.

How could Barbara either be in OR out?! Preposterous.
Barbara was the cat of Erwin Schrodinger. Therefore she can be both in AND out.
