To make guesses as to how objects of millennial debris
might be interpreted by future civilizations, Woodard dismantled
a toy drum machine and attached the working parts to a piece of
weathered machined wood. "Juju Stick" can be imagined
in the hands of the Nganga, or tribal spiritualist, exhorting devotees
to worship through song and dance, as they express longing for a
legendary past
