I think this work by Zimoun is really cool. I spent a lot of time on his website and I think this work really stood out relative to his other work. Inside this old water tank, Zimoun created a sound installation which gives a very other-worldly sensation. The installation uses hundreds of motors DC motors and cotton balls to create a unique, repeating sound. The sounds are asynchronous, which allows randomness to arise out of order. Zimoun's ability to create nuanced environments with repeating elements is fantastic. Computationally, none of it is difficult (ie. it's just some motors spinning). However, being able to translate a simple computation into a dynamic environment is fascinating to me.
