Great influence for watching every little movement of the hand.

Repetition has a strong influence, and along with the deeper meaning of this piece that is talked about in his artist statement and description of the piece.

Amazing piece that has a strong focus on the idea of repetitiveness that I would like to reach in my piece, along with the commotion of society.
I had more information about these artists, their work and my reasoning behind choosing them if you are interested.
Tragically, I found the solution to activating 100 metronomes more interested than the 100 metronomes. I think this further proves that for me, art comes secondary to practicality and problem solving. However, the purpose of art is to tell you things about yourself. In that, the piece succeeded. And that sound is maddening.
