A. Recall 2mins

The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: “Do not touch the
exhibits. Some of them are dangerous!” The objects on display were pieces of moving sculpture.
Oddly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move in response to a gust of
wind are quite familiar to everybody. These objects, however, were different. Lined up against
the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres. The spheres had been
magnetized and attracted or repelled each other all the time. In the center of the hall, there
were a number of tall structures which contained colored lights. These lights flickered
continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad. Sparks were emitted from small black
boxes and red lamps flashed on and off angrily. It was rather like an exhibition of prehistoric
electronic equipment. These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people
emotionally, but to give them electric shocks as well!
