**SUB SYSTEM MEETING POINTS
“Eridanus – Second”
star lathe cut + sculpture + mix CD**
The sculpture is already listening before you arrive.
It listens in **five languages at once** and understands none of them correctly.
That is how Eridanus prefers it.
The star lathe turns and the river runs *sideways*.

**ENGLISH (misfiled):**
Eridanus – Second does not begin; it sheds. The sound flakes off the edges of the room like dried salt, like a dog shaking after steam. Someone has written *Which breeds cause the most allergies?* on the wall, but the wall refuses to answer. The wall is hypoallergenic only in theory.
The mix CD whispers: *No breed is innocent. Some shed sound. Some shed silence.*
---
**ESPAÑOL (doblado, incorrecto):**
El río no fluye, **rasca**.
Erídano segundo entra por las orejas y sale por las patas.
Un perro invisible lame el suelo — demasiado, demasiado —
las huellas se vuelven marrones, el ritmo se vuelve obsesión.
*Tratamiento natural:*
— vapor que sube
— agua que limpia
— evitar el desierto que vive en la alfombra
Nada se cura, todo se calma un poco.
---
**FRANÇAIS (très sérieux, totalement faux):**
La sculpture prétend être une carte,
mais c’est une peau.
Les races les plus allergiques?
La musique répond: *celles qui existent*.
Certaines ont des fréquences longues,
d’autres éternuent dans les aigus.
On recommande:
la vapeur,
le silence humide,
une compresse froide posée sur le refrain.
Le fleuve Eridanus cligne des yeux.

Hinweis:
*Vermeidung ist auch eine Form von Musik.*
Das Sternlathe knistert wie trockene Haut,
dann beruhigt es sich,
weil jemand endlich zuhört.
---
**LATIN (invented, apologetic):**
*Eridanus non sanat.*
*Eridanus administrat.*
Aqua transit.
Vapor ascendit.
Canis somniat,
et in somnio non prurit.

Back to **ENGLISH (now unreliable):**
The sculpture hums when you rinse the air with imaginary saline. It approves of fluids. It distrusts triggers but cannot name them. The cold compress is applied to the bassline; the bassline sighs.
The star lathe clicks—less now. The itch has not left. It has been *redirected*. That is Eridanus – Second’s thesis, printed nowhere and everywhere: relief is a river maneuver, not a destination.
The mix CD ends in five voices speaking over each other, all saying the same wrong things....
