Cildo Meireles, Babel, 2001

Sound is another of the elements Cildo Meireles uses to create spaces. In Babel, 2001, an enormous tower of radio apparatuses, related to the biblical history of the tower of Babel, is suggestive of the incapacity to communicate as a cause of all human conflict. Due to the essentially temporal nature of a medium like the radio, in this work there are never two experiences alike. (via)
