Wikipedia black-out: foreground/background sonification

On 18th january 2012. Wikipedia blacked out his english pages due to the piracy laws going to introduced in the US. In this video example the system separates the blacked out page to background and foreground, and threates them differently in order to make sounds from the pixel contents. The sonification process affects the picture as well, some parts will be deleted, some will be underlying - like in the reality.
The video is part of the Sounds of Pictures project at http://soundsofpictures.blogspot.com/
