Moral Code is a visual and sound experience created by Karen Walker Chamberlin (musical artist Elouise) and exhibited at SOUNDPEDRO 2017. SOUNDPEDRO is an annual event comprised of indoor / outdoor site specific sound installations at the the Angels Gate Cultural Center, San Pedro California.
In Moral Code, morse code is used as an alternative to synthesized speech for sending automated data. It is a communication method used for messages of immediacy and necessity. It is used as last resort. In this film, Morse code translates significant moral speech that has defined the moral code of our country for the last 50 years. Reverberating over landscapes at the edge of the electronic urban grid. Sound waves passing over our time continuum that spans past, present and future. A last resort, a desperate attempt to communicate the immediacy and importance of the message without distraction. Is anyone still listening?
