Little Babylon
FILE PAI
Electronic Language International Festival
Abstract:
The pavilion “Little Babylon” is an inflatable ‘data-parasite’. It can be placed at random locations in cities to collect data about them and then to communicate this data with the audience in an interactive way as a dynamic, audio-visual show. The pavilion personifies the digital city and mines twitter for specific topics and translates this data in movement, visuals and sound, which together show the sentiment and temperament of the city.
