The Internet Speaks Tonight

I heard this fascinating story on KALW about the Listening Post, an installation piece now at the San Jose Museum of Art. I have to say I've never been to the San Jose Museum of Art and in all honesty didn't even know they existed. But this Listening Post sounds like it's worth the trip down. Basically, the project collects conversation snippets from public forums all around the Internet in real-time and the text is played through a voice-synthesizer and displayed on a grid of green LED screens. Sounds very cool on many levels
