…make something which experiences, reacts to its environment, changes, is nonstable…
…make something indeterminate, which always looks different, the shape of which cannot be predicted precisely…
…make something which cannot ‘perform’ without the assistance of its environment…
…make something which reacts to light and temperature changes, is subject to air currents and depends, in its functioning, on the forces of gravity…
…make something which the ‘spectator’ handles, with which he plays and thus animates…
…make something which lives in time and make the ‘spectator’ experience time…
…articulate something Natural…
