Back then you couldn't even look at the eardrum.

The smallest sound you can perceive moves your eardrum just four atomic diameters.

Initially these holes were lone blemishes, and as the exhibition continued the walls became increasingly perforated.

It's acoustic vibrations in the air, little waves of energy in the air that tickle our eardrum.

And at that moment, the sun came out, and through this perforated screen, a pattern was cast over these bodies and they kind of faded into the rear, and we left the restaurant kind of feeling O.K. about stuff.

Somehow in tickling our eardrum that transmits energy down our hearing bones, which get converted to a fluid impulse inside the cochlea and then somehow converted into an electrical signal in our auditory nerves that somehow wind up in our brains as a perception of a song or a beautiful piece of music.
