Haptic Opposition is centered around a text display that is mechanically movable, driven by both humans and machine. If the machine stays untouched for a while, it ticks out a flow of sentences assembled from text fragments pertaining to the philosophy of man-machine relationships. When someone touches the text display, the machine senses this contact and switches to interaction mode. The human contact influences two main variables of the control code: nervousness and aggression. In its highest aggression I mode, the machine physically opposes the interactor and displays its own program code line after line.
