Time Table November 2011

A white square table, from Ikea, in the middle of a room, with a glass of milk on it. Every time the train passes by on the top of the venue, the glass starts to vibrate violently and it's slowly moving towards the edge. It takes a few trains to get close to the edge, and then when it's threatening to fall over, it suddenly changes direction and starts moving towards another edge. The glass makes an loud sharp sound when it's moving.
The first time I showed the piece, in Beaconsfield gallery, London, the train passed over the venue every 2 minutes. I placed a microphone under the tracks, and used the sound to run the piece.
When the train passes the bassfrequence in the sound vibrates the table and move the glass. We use robotmechanism to keep the glass on the table.

This totally white domestic sculpture seams to bring on an anxiety in the audience, the terror of a mundane disturbance or maybe the everyday machine is out of control.

The visceral emotion of terror is mostly proportional to the life you're leading.
