DESCRIPTION:Listening Post is a ‘dynamic portrait’ of online communication\
 , displaying uncensored fragments of text\, sampled in real-time\, from pub
 lic internet chatrooms and bulletin boards. Artists Mark Hansen and Ben Rub
 in have divided their work into seven separate ‘scenes’ akin to movements i
 n a symphony. Each scene has its own ‘internal logic’\, sifting\, filtering
  and ordering the text fragments in different ways. 
\n
\nBy pulling text q
 uotes from thousands of unwitting contributors' postings\, Listening Post a
 llows you to experience an extraordinary snapshot of the internet and gain 
 a great sense of the humanity behind the data. The artwork is world renowne
 d as a masterpiece of electronic and contemporary art and a monument to the
  ways we find to connect with each other and express our identities online.
 
\n
\n_Listening Post has been presented to the Science Museum by The Art F
