Statement of Intent

This parasite is intended to be a sound parasite living in the quiet sections of a library. It would live in the empty slots of book shelves or around quiet section study tables. Its movements would react based on noise level in a room, being extra sensitive to even the smallest noise. Its movements could serve to make library go-ers more conscious of their noise output in the public space.

For me the most informative failures happened early on as I was iterating through ideas. I found that most of the more complicated plastic ideas were the most difficult to execute consistently. I found success in this one, where using a simple mechanism constrained in a controlled way worked best for me.
