On the walls, you can see computer texts.
Words are raining from the upper screen frame.
They are old mailing lists.
They consist of e-mail addresses and e-mails.
With mailing lists, you can send many people e-mails at the same time.
Therefore, you can exchange information with different people at the same time.

Today we use social networks like Instagram.
Therefore, the mailing lists are being disposed here.
Now they are data trash.
But the question is:
What happens to the lots of old data on the internet?
Here, plants grow from the disposed words.
This looks like a compost pile. 

In the middle of the room, there is a burnt out car.
Tree trunks lay beside it.
Mushrooms grow on the branches.
Scientists say:
Mushrooms are very smart and inform each other.
Similar to computers.
The artist Martin Howse wants to make this audible.
With special equipment, we can hear the sounds of the mushrooms through speakers.
