A series of brass tubes finely etched with characters and symbols by Joni Mitchell. One has to rotate them with little knobs to understand the message. Later on the shop floor, I see the machine that made them: a long robotic arm of stone that heats up at the edge to carve a line in the brass, then pulls back to be cooled by a stream of water, then heats up to carve again.
