The installation generates impulses of a 20kHz sine wave that displays the pulse rate of the number of deaths from AIDS-related causes worldwide in a year. The piece sonifies the most recent statistics of UNAIDS, which is the world's most extensive data collection on the HIV epidemic. This artwork is part of a theoretical research that maps the impact of the early AIDS epidemic in specific sound-focused artworks.
