Outline

In this work, a screen shows a “sandstorm” of white dots that come and go in a random pat- tern, as when a television cannot receive radio waves in an analog broadcast. This is run through a Google translation application, which picks up the weak radio waves in the sandstorm, to draw out information that hu- mans cannot perceive. With a sense of humor, this work questions what it means to be hu- man through the medium of a computer.
