A windowless room of stood at the beginning of this work. Darkness. A case on the floor. On it two felt balls with the diameter of half a meter each rest side by side. One of them is inflated, the other one is not. When operating the foot switch, the case is illuminated, the orange colour of the balls can be seen. And you can hear a pumping noise from the direction of the flabby felt ball as long as the foot switch is being pressed, Yet the size of the ball does not change.
