Large windscreens (from coaches etc.) are laid flat on over-sized workbenches. They are rocked gently to and fro by motors. Spot lights are used to project the shadows of this movement onto tarpaulins. Each motor (and therefore sound and movement) is switched on in succession. The pace is very slow. It feels dangerous.
