Shut The F@*k Up

Thousands of people chat online every day - but what does it actually sound like?
A new electronic art installation at the Science Museum in London endeavours to show just that.
Listening Post allows its audience to eavesdrop on the online world. Sampling text from thousands of chatrooms, message boards and forums, the artists have created a huge display that attempts to “hear the internet”.
Artists Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen have forged a giant curved stand that is built out of 231 small electronic screens.
