Infinite Monochord is a resonance box made of cinnamon and mahogany that has a positive electromagnetic feedback circuit inside. Small vibrations in the string are captured. A circuit amplifies these vibrations and produces a magnetic oscillation at the same frequency as the vibration of the string. The string then begins to vibrate stronger, reaching maximum intensity. Through feedback, the string vibrates infinitely.
It was exhibited in the solo exhibition Infinite Monochord at the Niterói Museum of Contemporary Art – Niterói, RJ, Brazil in 2008 and in the itinerant CNI SESI Marcantonio Vilaça Visual Arts Award in 2012 and 2013.
