Reflections
(5 Oct. 2007)
My brain is like a water computer, my thoughts are like pouring drops of water.
I invented a machine when I was a kid, it was a water computer: each key press generated waves in the water container that triggered an update in the liquid state of knowledge. It was then possible, thanks to the shadows projected by the sun to the bottom of the container, to read amazing scientific results. The electronic device that would translate the shadows into results was not yet finalized at that time. Pouring drops of water on a window have analogies with my invention. They have each their own path, influenced by the trace of the previous drops, but never identical. This is how I imagine the ions travelling in my brain. I feel sometimes like my thoughts were water moves.  
The phone clips were taken at an office and a backyard in London. The presented water computer is a faithful reconstitution of my childhood`s invention.
