'Listening Post' is an installation of suspended grids that have over two hundred electronic screens. They show text fragments in real time that are pulled from the internet chat rooms, bulletin boards and public forums. The text messages are read out by an electronic voice, and with music, show across the screens.

'Listening Post' has a series of six movements. The movements each have a different arrangement. They include visual, aural and musical elements. They also have their own data processing logic.

'Listening Post' is a visual and sonic response to the content.
