operant chamber and teaching machine (2015) closes a cycle of
work that investigated social conditioning, behaviorism, scientific
apparatus and early technology of science through the lens of its
documentation. From Pavlov’s Sketch for experiment (2008), to Herbert Bayer’s conditioning of the exhibition space (2010) and
her most recent work on the visual cliff (2014), Hurth recreates
here the setting of Skinner’s well-known baby box on the basis of
archival research, literature and you-tube films.
