LISTENING POST_part1 // Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin

my favorite installation::::this video is taken from the website of the creatores of LISTENING POST
Mark Hansen and Ben Rubin

Listening Post is an art installation that culls text fragments in real time from thousands of unrestricted Internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and other public forums. The texts are read (or sung) by a voice synthesizer, and simultaneously displayed across a suspended grid of more than two hundred small electronic screens.

Listening Post cycles through a series of six movements, each a different arrangement of visual, aural, and musical elements, each with it's own data processing logic.

Dissociating the communication from its conventional on-screen presence, Listening Post is a visual and sonic response to the content, magnitude, and immediacy of virtual communication.

I saw this at the Skirball in Los Angeles and at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Both experiences were mesmerizingly exciting.

Brilliant, calming and atmospheric. they should release the sound track so people can fall asleep to it.
