London’s largest participatory public artwork has been unveiled in west London.
Created by artist Rafael El Baz, 11 Million Dots measures 2,700 square metres (29,000 sq ft and spans the six storey façade of a new data centre near Park Royal, Ealing.
El Baz recorded ambient noise and sounds from the area as well as more than 120 audio interviews with local residents and business owners which he then transformed into binary code and audio waveforms.
They were then perforated onto aluminium panels to explore what data – something that is used daily but rarely visualised – can “look like when abstracted in a moment of time”, he said.
