Speech is both beautiful and informative. In this work, a conceptual study ofthe speech, through investigation of the tower of Babel, the archetypal phonemes, and astudy of the reasons of uses of language is undertaken in order to create an artistic workinvestigating the nature of speech. The Babel myth speaks about distance created whenaspiring to the heaven as the reason for language division. Meanwhile, Locquin statesthrough thorough investigations that only a few phonemes are present throughout history.Our interpretation is that a system able to recognize archetypal phonemes through vowelsand consonants, and which converts the speech energy into visual particles that formcomplex visual structures, provides us with a mean to present the expressiveness of speechinto a visual mode. This system is presented in an artwork whose scenario is inspired fromthe reasons of language. The artwork is presented at the Re:New festival in May 2008.<br/
