PARTICIPATION
In her piece, Moral Code, morse code is used as an alternative to synthesized speech for sending automated data. It is a communication method used for messages of immediacy and necessity. It is used as last resort. In this film, Morse code translates significant moral speech that has defined the moral code of our country for the last 50 years. Reverberating over landscapes at the edge of the electronic urban grid. Sound waves passing over our time continuum that spans past, present and future. A last resort, a desperate attempt to communicate the immediacy and importance of the message without distraction. Is anyone still listening?
