Cybernetic experiment of abstract sound design and graphics.
The robot moves within the sound pressure area. His movements are limited by the size of the canvas and define the way of sound alteration. At the same time the sound environment state affects the direction of the next line. Photosensor scans the drawn lines and exposes them to sound. The system incorporate positive optical and acoustical feedback and therefore never attains equilibrium.
