Thomas Geiger

Thinking Machine

Thinking Machine – this is

what Thomas Geiger calls his

simple construction of a cardboard

box containing three revolving

discs with about 50 adjectives and

nouns each. Geiger spins the

Thinking Machine every morning

before leaving the house. The

combination of words thus created stays with him throughout the day

and serves as a basis for Geiger’s

visualization thereof in either a

photo, a short video, an action or

the description of a specific

situation. This approach helps

Geiger to discover new ways in the

every-day seeing and perceiving

and enables him to explore the

boundaries in the relationship of

language and seeing – or as Peter

Handke put it in The Weight of the

World: “To see in language”.
