A lightning flash is a moment akin to a photograph but this is video. With the nine screens each version is a quarter of a second slower than the version before, lowering the sound of the thunder by approximately a semi-tone. The sound begins like a peal of bells, except this would take 384 million years to ring the changes. It appears to be random, but by knowing the process the randomness disappears, as is the case with artistic intention where there is no randomness. Each apparent act of randomness is preceded by a decision.

The duration of the piece seems perhaps, to make it longer than infinity as it is an actual amount of time but it cannot possibly be imagined, and questions the idea of time as real.
