The Twins

Two screens above the sofas on the ground floor

This is an endless discussion about what is happening. A quarrel between two monitors, two twins, or an internal quarrel. About how they perceive and interpret the small fragments of information they pick up the keywords the students use on the Internet.

One is English and the other is Norwegian. They each have their own dictionary, and therefore see the world differently. If it's a Norwegian word the English one tries to use an English word that roughly resembles the Norwegian, and vice-versa if it's an English word.

Such differences will go on forever, so there will always be a disagreement. Similarly the images retrieved from databases on the Web will have the same differences and thereby help to create interesting, absurd and poetic situations.
