The work uses Covid related announcements to unveil the official vernacular. To deconstruct this language using pure fact, in this case human behaviour, interaction and movement, as a tool to cut into semantics and generate new perspectives. Just as a dream makes sense of the experiences of the day, this digital dreamscape takes the factual data of real-time movement/interaction to present a new perspective for the viewer. The work reveals meanings as it progresses and the machine has an opinion, creating pure tones when the populace of the screen is less dense and more chaotic sounds as more people gather, an analogy for the virus perhaps?

"WARNING: Your data will be used to create a new future for yourself. As you cross the boundary of this tunnel your presence and movement will trigger a proverbial new future for you, instructed by a voice to change your chosen path. Your next move will define the creation of a moment of music that represents an abstraction of the use of your personal data to influence your life; sometimes in a negative way and sometimes positively. Data is being collected from you at all times"

This work aimed to show the power of collecting personal data to change the path of a persons day. The next step in data collection is the prediction of your future.

The purpose of The Sound of Kings project was to sonically capture the process of the development and resulting transformation of London’s Kings Cross. Using recordings submitted by members of the public to an email from any device able to record audio at any quality (phones, dictaphones etc).
