	We experimented with the different parts we discovered inside a stereo system and were thrilled by the mechanisms that made different parts spin using motors, wheels and pullies. We were determined to build a system consisting of different parts interconnected, that could use a single motor to work. Since motion was the central focus of our whole system, we decided to use motion as a trigger, so we integrated a motion sensor to it.

	We saw a clear dichotomy in our exploration, stillness vs movement. The stillness of empty spaces versus the movement of those who occupy them, this thought inspired us to "awake" an inanimate space (a wall) when the movement of a living being was detected. We chose a cube shape as the basic module, we felt this static shape ~~fitted~~ best our definition of stillness, being this a shape that has no movement potential in itself (opposite to a sphere ~~in this sense~~), a stillness urging to come alive and breath ~~life~~.		We saw a clear dichotomy in our exploration, stillness vs movement. The stillness of empty spaces versus the movement of those who occupy them, this thought inspired us to "awake" an inanimate space (a wall inside an empty room) when the movement of a living being was detected. We chose a cube shape as the basic module, we felt this static shape fits best our definition of stillness, being this a shape that has no intrinsic movement potential in itself (opposite to a sphere, for example), a stillness urging to "come alive and breath".

			A clear dichotomy was found during this exploration, movement vs stillness. The movement inherent to humans versus the stillness of inhabited spaces.

	For this assignment I wanted to continue experimenting with sound. I got excited when I found out that different pitches could be produced by a variation on the resistance.		For this assignment I wanted to continue experimenting with sound. I got excited when I found out that different pitches could be produced by a variation on the resistance.

	At this point my goal became to build a system capable of producing a wide range of sounds. I used different substances and combinations of them that would result on a variation of the amount of ions in a given solution, and therefore its conductivity. I wired the whole structure with ~~wire and~~ conductive material to connect all the substances and surfaces, by doing so I increased the sound possibilities based on the random combinations that could take place.

	This experimental resistance became a "solutions chain" located in the middle of a circuit where it became possible to select where the conductive props would be placed (to close the circuit), thus producing a different outcome depending on the combination.
