My hard drive is experiencing some strange noises

The sound of a defective hard disk is picked up by a contact microphone. The acoustic wave is instantly processed by a software that repeats and amplifies sounds creating a resounding echo. 

Gregory Chatonsky is an artist born in Paris. He currently resides in Montreal and Paris.
He holds a philosophy master’s from the Sorbonne and a multimedia advanced degree from the Ecole nationale superieure des beaux-arts in Paris. He has worked on numerous solo and group projects in France, Canada, the United States, Italy, Australia, Germany, Finland and Spain. His works have been acquired by public collectors such as the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie.

I was told that my sound sculpture presented at the Containment project sounds like a defective hard disk.
