The work draws on the myth of Pandora’s Box. The installation is set out to be a recollection of the sounds and voices from the protests that took place on October 15th 2011, as part of the Occupy Movement, following the global financial crisis. The Occupy Movement occurred simultaneously across 82 nations and 950 cities, and spread more globally through a significant Internet presence.
82 audio tracks related to those demonstrations and found on the internet, are reproduced at once.
