I looked up "seashells" and "audio" together online today, and got a link to a wikipedia synopsis of farenheit 451. I have read that book before, but forgot about the tiny earbud devices that characters wore, which happen to be called seashells. I thought this was an interesting thing to think about within the context of my own idea for an installation. Maybe I could use some of the same themes from Bradbury's book: how indifference and short attention spans seem to be causing modern America's "eroding intellectualism." I could play some kind of video piece in the background while distracting viewers with my audio seashells...
