Lucia Mrakovcic curated this expo in Faar and convinced me to fill this wondourfull space called "the cathedral" with paper, images and sounds.

Trying to grasp the scale at which data is being processed by computers, If you just print out a small percentage of this data, it turns into a huge pile of paper...
Taking a step back the papers have macro message. Here we see:

The printer was active during the expo, and printed from 6 meters above ground level dropping down paper and spitting out data

If you try to make data from a signal, noise is a parameter you have to take into account. Often ignored are the aesthetic qualities of noise.
