Automatic Zen Garden is an audio installation that commodifies the experience of relaxation and meditation. The viewer approaches the table and the motor begins to spin, brushing the sand into delicate waves while repeatedly striking the chimes. Creating a relaxing environment within the repetitive sound and motion of the brushing sand.
