Translation of the sound of the sea waves in real time. I sit on the beach of Lido Venice with a paper and a charcoal. I press the charcoal on the paper following the sound of the waves. I am just a seismograph recording the sound variations of the waves trying to achieve an impossible mechanical objectivity.
