A kinetic installation with three main units and an external unit at the window. Each influences the process of the other through vibration or light. A kinetic installation exploring temporal patterns through three interconnected units and an external element. Each component transforms and transmits movement through light and vibration, creating a self-programming mechanical cycle.

The sequence begins with a solar panel mounted at the window that powers a DC motor in Unit 2. When sunlight strikes the panel, it activates "dancing spaghetti" elements that tap rhythmically on a table surface. These vibrations dictate the behavior of Unit 1, which mechanically controls power switches for two motors in Unit 3.

The motors in Unit 3 generate their own motion dynamics, their fluctuations visualized through light bulbs in Unit 2. These lights power four additional DC motors via solar panels, causing four individual spaghetti strands to dance and tap on Unit 2's table. This movement accelerates Unit 1's operation, which governs Unit 2's power supply, completing the cycle.

The installation explores how cyclic phenomena shape our perception of temporal progression through cyclic phenomena. Through its perpetual mechanical programming, the work creates its own evolving rhythms and patterns.
