Visualize a surreal and vast empty plain, stretching as far as the eye can see. The ground is flat and featureless, creating a sense of expansiveness. Now, scatter an array of Wittner mechanical metronomes across the entire plane. Each metronome is set to a different rhythm, ticking and tocking independently. The metronomes are spaced evenly, creating a mesmerizing visual and auditory landscape. The natural light illuminates the scene, casting long shadows from the metronomes across the plain. The atmosphere is both eerie and captivating, as the rhythmic ticking of the metronomes fills the empty space, creating a unique and surreal experience. The metronomes symbolize the passage of time and the order within the vast emptiness of the plain. --ar 7:4
