Fault Lines
1996
A steel open table divided by a box hung on springs, containing cast latex catfish.
Every 15 minutes, a pair of motorized hammers on opposite ends bangs the box to shake up the fish and to startle the readers.

There is an old Japanese folk tale that explains what causes earthquakes...
apparently, large catfish gods live under the earth and when angered, will thrash about, causing the earth to quake.
