Conceptual Description
Continue is a minimalist, conceptual work that repeatedly poses the same question about the continuation of the interactive process.

"Although we are dealing apparently with branches (the subdivisions of the options), it is in fact a one-way street: we can only start over from the beginning, again and again, and the route we follow will always be exactly the same. Continue makes no attempt to fool us into believing in the false infinities the hype surrounding the CD-ROM would have us believe in. Continue takes us to the other end, or, if one chooses, the beginning: to the binary code degree zero." (Astrid Sommer)
