…Ruet Moles et Machina Mundi…

…the mass and fabric of the world, shall crash into ruins (Lucretius De Rerum Natura, V 95-6). 
An air tube connected to a compressor generates the dangerous movement of a whip, the end of which is connected to a loose red-white danger tape.  The uncontrolled movement of the thin tube is like a device meant  to signal the imminent collapse of the machina mundi. The human being has constructed the immense building of the world starting with his body as the first available technology, improving its condition with the production of other practices like those of language and writing. In its ephemerality, the dynamics of the machine of culture creates conditions of a precarious balance between progress and regression, uninterruptedly causing situations of peril that signal us: Attention! Risk of danger!
