Wooden Enclosures with Interactive Sound Performance
Hum•drum
+ - ~
Three booths; parts of unknown origins. Pyrographic topologies of mapped out lands singe the outer facades. Enter now, you have been here before. A microphone hangs limp, weary from indigestion. The book awaits, its burnt face mimics. Pick it up, enter the book as you entered the booth. Watch yourself become a nested doll.
The microphone spouts what it could no longer withhold. It blares a humdrum cello, bares a writhing rhythm akin to the script that forms before your eyes. Letters...words...phrases...story. But the story isn't there. In fact, the phrases bounce back, flung at you until you cease to dodge them. Then they're absorbed; then the story is made.

Three modules; parts of a system. Only infallible when each fulfills its function. A sensor alerts when. A microcontroller decides when. A player module executes when.
The system is dumb, it doesn't adapt. The spectator adapts. The code lies content in its purpose, and would be content without purpose. Its defectiveness it could not identify nor care for. The spectator identifies and cares.
