About
Paradox Post is a kinetic signpost that playfully satirizes human confirmation bias. Built from scavenged materials and recycled community paint, the installation features four stacked, rotating wooden signs. Each side of the manually rotating signs displays perfectly contradictory advice, such as "Speak your truth" and "Silence is golden." The piece serves as a humorous oracle of convenient truth. Participants physically spin the signs until they align the exact combination of profound-sounding wisdom required to justify whatever decisions they already want to make.
