Reciprocation/Retaliation is based on the notion of 'mixed signals', both literally and figuratively. Televisions and radios are connected to Clappers™ (sound-activated power supplies) and arranged in a circle around a skipping turntable. As the electronics become activated by surrounding sounds, they begin to create sounds of their own, and an unpredictable chain reaction occurs wherein each device turns on and off in a seemingly random fashion.
