This work was designed for the exhibition "Heartbeat".
(Master to dog) “Settle down there. I can tell you know what this is.
The anticipation is too much so you jump around. But as soon as I set down your bowl, I know you will devour your dinner in no time.”
The mechanism is a mix of Automata and karakuri.
Though my dog likes small dried sardines, I made this in a general image.
