Each beacon stores sound recordings that can be heard by visitors using an app on their mobile device. The sound recordings are<span class=\"text_exposed_show\"> voice messages that relate to information and have been collected from scientists, poets, artists and thinkers from the past and the present. Visitors are invited to interact with the artwork and to record their own messages thereby replacing the existing ones and producing a quasi-living archive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In Lozano-Hemmer\u2019s artwork the audience enjoy the relatively personal experience of listening to the audio content through headphones or the speaker on their hand-held device.
