Babel means \u201cconfusion\u201d. The \u201cOther\u201d was born when the Tower of Babel was destroyed, when different languages were created, and people had to \u201ctranslate\u201d his\/her thoughts to co-habit the same territory.
\nThe installation is made of hand-cut rubber shaping a net of 70 different characters of different languages. The haggadic assumption that there are seventy nations and languages in the world is based upon the ethnological note, where seventy grandsons of Noah are enumerated, each of whom became the ancestor of a nation.
\nThe visitor is able to walk around and inside the installation.
\nPrinted papers with the story of the tower of Babel in ancient and contemporary languages are displayed on the surrounding walls.
\nNASA asked Dr Carl Sagan of Cornell University to assemble a greeting to leave in the space: The Golden records of the nave Voyager “The Sounds of Earth”, (1977) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fCB35lTiqT4
\nThis constant murmur with greetings in 55 different languages, will be heard. <\/p>\n
