beanstome"Babel 2001, a tower of radios playing at once, addresses ideas of information overload and failed communication".
An incredible, overstimulating, yet equally jarring audiovisual display. Stacks of radios on top of each other blare noise, static, music, or whatever may be received on them. Noises overlap and overload, while illuminated lights on the units provide what may be the only distraction your senses have.
As much as a video may capture the chaotic audio, in person it is far more pronounced per the acoustics of the room.
An art installation created by Cildo Meireles (Brazil). This art installation is currently on show at The Tate Modern, London, UK; seen May 2022.
Fuji X-E1 + Fujifilm XF 27mm
