Time Studio Final-Public Art/Bomb Scare

I created a sculpture around a clock radio so that it would play a sound piece in a public place. That public place was the dining hall but my project attracted some unwanted attention when someone called the police thinking it was a homemade bomb. The bomb squad was called, the area blocked off, and the adjacent streets were shut down. When I saw what was going on, I tried to clear things up and I got questioned by an angry cop for an hour. Here's the piece that started this whole thing (I'm not sure how many bombs are made of sponge, rope, and fur) and a sneaky video I took of the first few minutes of the confrontation with the police officer:
