STABILITY: disaster log

The viewer in a gallery handles a small cube. A projection shows an animated world that is implied to exist inside the cube. The physics of the real world are applied to an animated world: the viewer, by manipulating the cube, can inflict dramatic changes. The animated character residing inside the cube relentelessly gets up and restores his world destroyed by forces outside his understanding. When the cube is put back on the pedestal and achieves 'stability', the animated character records the disaster in his Disaster Log Book and goes about rearranging the room. Each arrangement he arrives at is unique.
