Using mechanical motion to interpreting unsustainable the conglomerate of corporation wealthy human control with their investments.

Thus this work is an interpretation of the large machine a single human can control via stock investment and how unsustainable it is since the only comun factor is profit not customers needs, not employes wellbeings, nor maintaining the environment the only things they care if the colour of the stock ticker doesnХt matter how it got that colour. Each one of those modules (rotation and actuation) represent a corporation the human has his hands on and while it is being controlled by the same guidelines as the other it is still left to have its own agency. Due to environmental factors, hardware limitation, software interpretation, and overtime decay. A destruction happens slowly as the system is sending data to one module at the time following the corporation highlighted on the screen. It moves following the stock ticker reacting on positive and negative change to move in a direction or the other. Overtime the gears are wearing off or lock, motors are getting overused, the switches detach, the communication receiver burnout, cables tangle. A bit how our world system is today that despite our constant tinkering with the system, we only ever seem to prevent what we last had go wrong, and over time we degrade. For exemple measures put in place after the GFC of 2008, like stricter tests on mortgages, are slowly being rolled back, as issues with house prices increase - potentially making a much worse situation than before (or prior to that things, like the removal of Glass-Steagall act of 1933, in the US, which separated commercial and investment banking)
