When he retired, he decided to create 'kinetic sculptures' using technology and has created one that can replicate digital music files and play them on a violin.The robot uses a software to analyse digital files and generate numbers to control the wiring and power the machine's motors - enabling the violin to produce the same notes as were originally played.In an interview to BBC, Seth gives a small demonstration of what the machine is able to do and talks about his future plans.   TweetFollow @thenewsminute
