The sculpture is a closed system consisting of two Input/Output Modules which are both connected to a central computing system. Both modules are identical in their construction and consist of a directional microphone { Input } and a speaker positioned in front of a parabolic dish { Output }. Users can interact with the system by speaking into one of the two microphones. Both inputs will get sent to the opposite output module in a 30 second rhythm simultaneously. All information that enters the system will circulate between the modules, so if information enters on one side it will first get played on the opposite side after one cycle and then reappear at the input side after another cycle and so on. With each repeated cycle all sounds will pick up a regulated amount of feedback and loose a certain amount of information in volume and detail. The soundscape of the sculpture depends on how regularly information will get provided by the users – if a lot of information enters the system the soundscape will get very chaotic and unpleasant after a while, if there is a long period of no inputs the system will recover after a certain amount of time and return to a silent state.
