London, England, U.K.

Part of the an exhibit at the Tate Modern in London which explores how media can be truly just noise, due to our inability to understand most foreign languages. Those speakers are continuously blasting our overlapping news reports in a multitude of tongues. The image was captured during my wander at the museum last weekend.
