Babel by Cildo Meireles

A trip around Tate Modern led me to a room dominated by a seemingly endless pillar of statues. Around 800 in total all tuned to different frequencies. The constant onslaught of noise was so disruptive and relentless. It was impossible to isolate a single strand before your senses were overwhelmed by the constant chatter of radio announcers.

A reminder of the disruptive nature of the monster that is mass media.
