With buttons and switches he can set what kind of word he wants to make, in what language, how long the new word should be and then the machine will make a custommade new word that's ready to use.

Game of Life
A black table seems to glow magically. The visitor holds his hand above it and an incredible image appears; the contours of the hand appear on the table's surface and out of it crawl numerous white dots that move across the table in beautiful patterns, and live on for quite a while before they eventually die out. Everywhere where life proliferates it leaves behind traces of blue: pollution. The visitor presses his finger against the surface and sows food. A miniature ecosystem that lives by a simple mathematical rule, and shows beautiful images. [more info]

On a stove there is a big burnt pan. In a skyblue soup float tiny islands. When the visitor reaches for the pan, the islands come alive. A sound escapes the pan, a tone that changes its pitch depending on the proximity of the hand. The frequency of the sound influences the behaviour of the islands. They form sand banks, fjords and erupting vulcanoes. [more info]
