Description
In this personal work, a message received on my answering machine is visualised to be understandable. Due to technical issues (the sender called from an iPod without a microphone input) the message was transferred into keypad signals (2=ABD, 3=DEF,…). I received different types of beeps and started to analyse them with experimental and intelligence service software. The result is a colourful animation, which helped to decipher the acoustic code.
This project has the unusual dimensions of 512 by 32 pixels, projected on the 12 meter wide screen of gridgallery in Sydney.
