Impulse Spheres…
Like all perception, time can only be experienced by being seen as a whole. When people become totally immersed in an activity, completely lose themselves in the moment, the passage, rhythm and intervals of time, simply flow by.
Nine freely suspended spheres are hung in a row, touching each other. If the first sphere is pulled back and released to collide with the others something truly amazing can be experienced. The impact force of the sphere travels unseen through the whole row of spheres until it finds its opposite number, the last sphere, which is forced outwards and, with almost equal energy, returns to collide with the row of spheres. The procedure is repeated until the force is dissipated. One or more spheres can be used to create endless variations and number games in a variety of rhythms.
