All the things you could be by now (Square Dance Revolution) explores the ritual of reenacting. In order to perform Bruce Nauman's 1967 Square Dance (Dance or Exercise on the Perimeter of a Square) Schuurman translated Nauman's movements to machine code and built an arcade machine to conduct his movements. Not only the initial set of rules but also the execution by Nauman was adapted resulting in an almost indecipherable logic. While in use the machine orchestrates and monitors the operator, step-by-step, move-by-move. Correct moves are rewarded with a continuing of the performance while wrong moves result in a Game Over.
