Play Value

Turning the disc sets two differently coloured sands in motion and these then trickle through fine funnel openings like blood through veins and heart. As a rule, like goes to like, like things join together: large to large, heavy to heavy. Mountains and valleys, shot through by regular two-coloured layers form on one side, while the other side shows increasing waves of erosion. A stimulating experience as a result of the formation of continually new patterns. Just a gentle turn of the disc is enough to change the picture into ever new and flowing forms, each unique and fleeting. Whole landscapes and aesthetic patterns appear in the sand. Turning the disc too fast results in chaos. However if the disc is left to trickle while stationary, new structures form.
