Zen machine.

A pen draws the sound curve of a rake in the sand basin of the machine. Simultaneously, the rake erases the track caused by the sound of the rake, and the sound generated by this creates another track. The machine rotates endlessly around its own axis, thereby generating the endless erasure of an endless drawing that is regenerated by the sound of the erasure. A contact microphone transmits the sound of the rake to a loudspeaker whose vibration is in turn transmitted to the movement of the pen.
