Private collection
A Dripper is a machine that produces random microtonal music. It has a water tank and 4 taps. When the taps are opened to drip, the drops pass through sensors, producing musical notes according to the size of the drops and the speed at which they fall. The drops are collected by gutters and taken to a collector at the base of the object. The music ends when the water in the tank runs out. Then the taps can be closed and the tank can be refilled with water from the collector.
It was exhibited in the traveling exhibition of the CNI SESI Marcantonio Vilaça Visual Arts Award in 2011 and 2012.
