I put together a popcorn machine made of a metal tank and a gas burner (a camping stove). A fan installed in the tank should put the popcorn kernels in motion. I give a demonstration of my invention. I pour some oil into the tank, a small bag of corn. I wait for an instant, the professor and the students present wait, suspense...I expect the tank to overflow. In the end, three pieces of popcorn pop in the tank. Flop, flop, flop. This first one announces an inclination and my interest in art-in-action and is the first of a series of accidents, failures and trivial actions.
