Window Beaters

 

Small electromagnets knock on the gallery window, preferably when someone approaches, sometimes coincidentally, exactly on the ear of a person passing by. It is not a rhythm, but a percussive interaction with open pause lengths. It is more like waiting for the next striking impulse, hard and short. I am surprised about the strength of the glass pane.
