Abstract
A data sonification where every sound represents one death from Covid 19 in the UK.
Every 30 seconds represents the timespan of one day, starting from the day of the first recorded death on March 5th.
Refer to bit.ly/JP-Sonification2-sources timeline as you listen.
Statement on Sonification (June 2020):
In this process I collect and catalogue news and media on the days they happen, and represent each death with fragments of audio from these stories.
At the time of update there were 42,927 UK deaths as on gov.uk. To represent each with a single sound has taken 55 minutes. The true estimated figure from ONS excess deaths was nearer 64,000. I am now unmistakably in the thoughts of ‘how’, ‘why’, and ‘who’. But my main wish is to respectfully represent those who have lost their lives. I am interested in honest responses and I hope this work engages us to reflect on what has happened and is still happening around us.
