        The movement of the remote box is controlled by a microcontroller and the interaction is through a networked java application. A person can send a stimulus to the box by manipulating an abstract digital interface on a computer screen which sends a signal over a computer network. This stimulus triggers a motor inside the box and the time difference between signals determines the speed and rhythm of another motor which turns the wires on the face of the box.

  The interface to the sculpture is a java application.
 
  The interior of the box houses two motors and a small circuit board which receives/processes input and drives the motors.
 
  The wires are capable of movements from gentle to abrupt, depending on the input into the system.
