Hello, world!
An analogue memory made of copper tube
In this piece, the body consists of acoustic wave which are channelled through a system of tubes. A circular causal process is required in order to transform this short-lived body into a long-lasting one. This feedback has explosive and implosive properties; therefore, a self-regulating system is implemented, preserving the physical equilibrium through observable and dynamic behaviour. Only then can the body be used as storage memory.
A codified audio signal circulates in a closed (feedback) system, consisting of a computer, a speaker, 246 metres of copper tube and a microphone. By using the acoustic delay of the tube system, it is possible to store data. The longer the tube, the greater the time delay, which leads to greater memory capacity.
