This is the first project. It’s very interesting and I think this project has a sense of science and technology. Use code to make the machine write the sentence. The sound and its mode of operation can make me reminds the typewriters and counters.

I really love this project. This project has an immersive multi-channel installation that comprises 100 microphones suspended above 100 metal spikes. The soundscape alternates between languages including Arabic, Azeri, Chinese, English, Hindi, and Spanish.
Visitors will encounter 100 microphones suspended over 100 metal rods, each piercing a verse of poetry. Over the course of an hour, each microphone, in turn, recites a fragment of the poets’ words.
” The title of the work is inspired by a poem by the 14th century poet known as Nesimi, born in what is now modern-day Azerbaijian and executed for the religious beliefs expressed in his poetry which ran counter to dominant contemporary doctrines. This is one of a number of historic poems included in the work (with the earliest dating to the 7th century). The vast majority of the poems, however, stem from the 20th century up to the present day, reflecting the artist’s particular engagement with the rise of the nation state, and the related social and political struggles for self determination and access to democracy and human rights.”
