Mori is an internet-based earthwork that engages the earth as a living medium.
Mori displays streaming seismographic data measured continuously from a site near the Hayward Fault above University of California at Berkeley. This data is then converted to digital signals, transmitted over the internet to the an acoustic installation.

Mori is interesting to me as it is fascinating to feel the earth's vibrations up close. Here is an artwork that is measuring the earth's heart beats , and very much like an ECG. The resulting installation, with its deep resonating sounds strikes awe for nature's raw power.
