The word 'emotionalism' is projected on a wall.
Rendered in clear borosilicate glass, the word is kept in a shallow reservoir of water on an overhead projector. Droplets of water fall intermittently, causing wavelets to radiate across the surface.

Water flows from the reservoir into a system of tubes and Arduino-controlled peristaltic pumps.
