Average happiness

Average happiness

----------------------

‘Average Happiness’ is a visual journey in which logic gradually gives way to emotion. What begins as a neat PowerPoint presentation full of graphs and linear equations slowly grinds to a halt. Slides start to stutter, a glitch flickers across the screen, and a crackling sound tears the presentation apart. From that white grid, something new emerges: a spreadsheet called ‘Reality.xlsx’.

A hyper-rational alter ego of Bas Vanderschoot guides the audience through the self-constructed tabs of his life. Using LED screens, projections and cardboard diagrams, he builds a new landscape each time — each with its own logic, its own inhabitant, its own madness. In this digital dream, he encounters figures who guide or mislead him: a talking paperclip, a cynical crypto-miner, the imaginary number 5i, and even his late father’s search history. In seemingly philosophical conversations, they search together for a foothold, but time and again Bas’s own vulnerability and grief seep to the surface.
