DESCRIPTION:Listening Post is a ‘dynamic portrait’ of online communicat
 ion\, displaying uncensored fragments of text\, sampled in real-time\, from
  public internet chatrooms and bulletin boards. Artists Mark Hansen and Ben
  Rubin have divided their work into seven separate ‘scenes’ akin to mov
 ements in a symphony. Each scene has its own ‘internal logic’\, sifting
 \, filtering and ordering the text fragments in different ways. 
\n
\nBy pu
 lling text quotes from thousands of unwitting contributors' postings\, List
 ening Post allows you to experience an extraordinary snapshot of the intern
 et and gain a great sense of the humanity behind the data. The artwork is w
 orld renowned as a masterpiece of electronic and contemporary art and a mon
 ument to the ways we find to connect with each other and express our identi
 ties online.

\n_Listening Post has been presented to the Science Museum 
 by The Art Fund._
