Aernout Mik thought up an exceptional work of art for the Sint Maarten Clinic and the adjacent rehabilitation centre: an interactive monkey called Aap. Since 1998 he has been hanging around in the clinic and, when he feels like it, perhaps playing a game of noughts and crosses with someone. Aap reacts to sounds, movements and people in his surroundings - sometimes he sleeps and sometimes he’s in a bad mood. Despite the fact that a lot of care has gone into creating a suitable environment, the monkey does seem a little rootless.
