TESTIMONIALS
“Such a beautiful idea, a sonic memorial. I’ve been listening for the last half hour or so to the sonic memorial, it is fascinating, and, so beautiful. This is the first online memorial or work of art I’ve experienced concerning 9/11 the rises to the occasion.”
– Jim Anderson, Canada
“What I’ve been seeing about 9/11, with the exception of this web site—are a lot of the times how wrong the terrorism is, how 9/11 warrants a war against terror, etc.—but not enough about why the US is targeted so often, and in the future, what can we do to avoid something like 9/11. In that sense, I feel that Sonic Memorial gives us a chance to reflect on ourselves – and where we are going.”
– Jim Olivieri
“This is an eloquent example of how the affordances of technology can be used to uniquely communicate an important concept, namely that history is made up of many voices and perspectives. Sonicmemorial.org really brings that point home. Congratulations on developing such a wonderful site.”
– Frances Villar
“…A compelling argument against concrete memorials: how the space of memory is filled with voices and sounds impossible to design into an object.”
