Ferreira, Luís SarmentoSá, Cristina2026-05-192026-05-192014-09-01949e1c70-6cee-443f-8ad0-63b066c10addhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/57760Babel’s Monkeys is an art work by Luís Sarmento Ferreira that consists on the cyclical rewriting of the biblical episode of The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1 – 9 – King James Version) using words from the real-time stream of Twitter public feeds. The work is presented on a wooden plinth with a built-in monitor on its top face. The object evokes both the shape of a pulpit or lectern and the one of a reading table with a book rack. This relates to the religious nature of the text being displayed in the monitor and to the influence of Jorge Luis Borges’ The Library of Babel to this work.engCombinatorial writingTwitterProcessingGenesis 11:1-9conference proceedings
