Heart - mixed media sculpture, powered by sunlight

website: http://www.stevehollinger.com
This is a low-res video of "Heart", a self-contained artificial heart made of broken bulbs, melted glass capillary tubes, wood and a solar-powered mechanical vacuum.
music: carnival of the animals: no. 13, Saint-Saens

Sunlight warms it up, causing the liquid to expand and flow up the network of tiny tubes into the top chamber and when it cools, it reverses back down to the bottom chamber. I really like this, correct me if I got it wrong. Is the video sped up to show the process in a short amount of time?
