Fråga Doktorn, 2020
An interactive work based on voice recognition where the visitor tells the doctor where they are in pain and the doctor will respond and prescribe a prescription. The work highlights language difficulties, racism and abuse of power and is also a reflection on how the digital healthcare of the future might work… The words that the doctor uses are difficult medical words used in healthcare and difficult to understand even for a person with good language skills.
