Participants were invited to record personal thoughts, stories and experiences around questions of individual and collective identity and citizenship at a dedicated recording booth at The Tate Exchange. Over the course of the exhibition each recording was integrated into a living and growing sound installation. When heard all together these voices were an unidentifiable babble, however by tuning into a specific channel, each individual voice could be properly integrated, cutting through the noise generating its own impact as part of a collective. 
 

 

Beyond the Babble is a participitory sound installation created as part of the
Who Are We? Project at the Tate Exchange 14th-19th March 2017

Each circle representes an indvidual voice - to cut through the noise
click a circle and press play/pause.
