1/4 KiloTube

Audio-Video work, presenting 256 video clips taken from youTube.com. Each clip speaks in a different language, and they are all speaking together. The aim of the work is to imitate the “info flood” we live in, these days. The work lasts 256 seconds, which are 4:16 minutes, so you have 1 second per clip. The number 256 was selected because it is exactly a quarter of an KiloByte which is 1,024 byte, so the “Tube” (the video clip) becomes our smallest unit for info.
