An interactive machine that measures one’s colonial burden. The visitors are guided by a set of instructions on how to use the machine. 
The electronic device uses a special circuitry and sensitive processes to  analyse each individual and calculate their Colonial burden within seconds. The result, which is both displayed and announced by the machine, may help a user to reflect and introspect upon his socio-political location in the society. The machine works on a complex and rarely used nAI technology.  
 
This artwork is a result of years of dedicated research and hard work on (neo)colonialism by the artist.
