A thin luminiscent EL wire is driven by an excenter. The modulation and speed of the rope wave can be controlled by the visitors through sensitive moving sensors.
A dynamical sculpture emerges which huge size lets us guess that matter in fact is only consistent of vibrating energy.
In its state of excitement, the almost 10m high dematerialized sculpture lets vistors stand below and watch the hot center of vibration.
The almost noiseless motion lets the sculpture develop its own acoustic dimensions. A wild animal, whipping and driven by movements of visitors. Even tamed it tells us something about the context of human and nature. Tamed is: the human, facing the wild.
The audience gets silent if it becomes clear that the supposed uncontrollable interacts with us: then structure comes to the sculpture. The human learns that he can bring about something: what he always knew, but ever forgot.
Vibration becomes still. That stillness, new can arise from.
