From the Profil interview: "Počítač vypočítal množstvo rôznych kriviek a pre ďalší postup som zvolil jednu z nich, náhodou, podľa čísla poradia, bez vizuálnej inšpekcie jej tvaru. Cieľom bolo eliminovať subjektívny výber krivky. Na základe počítačovej kresby sa vysústružilo rotačné teleso, ktoré som potom dotváral frézovaním, brúsením a leštením. Celý proces tvorby artefaktu pripomínal prácu konštruktéra a projekt bol urobený tak, aby podobné artefakty mohol podľa neho vytvoriť ktokoľvek."
