<small>José Martí. “Versos Sencillos”, Fragment. ( José Julián Martí Pérez (Havana, 1853 - Dos Ríos, 1895) was a Cuban politician, diplomat, poet, essayist, journalist and philosopher, founder of the Cuban Revolutionary Party and organizer of the Cuban War of Independence, during which he died in combat. He is considered the initiator of literary modernism in Latin America. He is considered the national hero of the Republic of Cuba, and his ideals of independence and anti-colonialism have been used by the Cuban regime to politically indoctrinate the Cuban people. But these same ideals of nationalism and independence also serve as a guide and inspiration to the opposition that desires a Cuba without repression, a just country and a republic “with everyone and for the good of everyone”).</small> | <small>José Martí. “Versos Sencillos”, Fragment.

===== Concept development===== | |||
The lemon tree is a resilient plant that bears fruit even when it is dying. | |||
In this project, the lemon tree is a symbol of the members and generations of my Cuban family, it is an inheritance of sentimental and moral values in it. | |||
The death of that plant also speaks about the Cuban context in general, its history, and its current socio-political crisis that generates physical and sentimental ruptures of its most vulnerable families. It has affected especially the humble elderly people who were the working generations who created and supported the revolutionary Cuban process that became corrupted and negligent to them. Now, those persons are the most affected by the crisis, being abandoned by the system to which they gave their faith and the effort of their lives. | |||
The piece is a tribute to them. | |||

I was responsible for the structural and mechanical implementation of the project since my strengths lie far more in this area than in writing computer code. Additionally, unlike Hanna, I have the necessary resources at home to craft. | I was responsible for the structural and mechanical implementation of the project since my strengths lie far more in this area than in writing computer code.

We chose the niche as our exhibition space because it allowed us to maintain a necessary distance from other sound-based projects. Additionally, this setup ensured that the work could only be viewed from the front, preventing visitors from accidentally bumping into it and disturbing any components. | We chose the niche as our exhibition space because it allowed us to maintain a necessary distance from other sound-based projects.

Hanna and I met in Weimar on the Saturday before the exhibition to attach the picks to the motors and test the interaction of all components. This allowed us to check the overall functionality of both the code and the construction. Fortunately, everything worked as intended, with only a few minor tasks remaining. | Hanna and I met in Weimar on the Saturday before the exhibition to attach the picks to the motors and test the interaction of all components.

On the Thursday before the exhibition, we finalized our setup. We darkened the window, adjusted the lighting, secured all components to the table to prevent any shifting during the exhibition, connected the sensors and motors, plugged in the power supply, set the timers, and fine-tuned the height of the mounting structure to ensure that each pick could strike its string and produce a pleasant sound. | On the Thursday before the exhibition, we finalized our setup.

The Winterwerkschau was a great success for our project. Contrary to our initial concerns, the adhesive held up perfectly, keeping the picks securely attached to the motors for both days of the exhibition. As a result, all the strings could be continuously played without any issues. | The Winterwerkschau was a great success for our project.
