When I first began this piece of art, I wanted to transform the physical beating of drums into digital audiovisual expressions, originally designing this to be a traditional circular drum filled with a ferrofluid. However, the work was adapted twice. The version of the drum displayed today is able to connect to electric circuitry and meet programming language requirements, which shows the inevitability of new ways of aesthetic expression in the modern, technical world.
