Humonolith is a connected sculpture. It embodies images and emotions extracted from the blogs of people around the world, immersing itself in sound and image, creating a new translation of the human being. Images and sentences incrementally move across a screen of a black monolith, giving a glimpse into the mood and feeling of individuals in the world. These "nodes" emphasize and evolve a growing soundscape, parsing emotions from the blog feeds into an environmental soundscape, encompassing a global consciousness via the net.
