This sculpture generates a kind of road movie, DJ experience.

A doll rides in a toy car which has one wheel riding on a slightly warped LP record spinning on a turntable. In the center of the turntable is a single. The operation of the turntable stylus has been roboticized so that a segment of the single is periodically played as a soundtrack to the imagery appearing on the four TV screens (two on each side). Three cameras film the toy car from different angles and a video splitter has been programmed to randomly mix the video feed to the TV's.
