People nowadays are desensitized to the background sounds of their surroundings. They are so busy in their own world that they can't stop to appreciate their surroundings for what they are.
The idea here is to bring these background sounds to the foreground, turning them into statements of their own right. After giving the sounds the right treatment, make people notice the ambience and better understand their surroundings.
An example of of that would be to turn the lift bells into a rhythm and the typing of the keyboard given different pitches. Sort of like a stomp effect...

Morse code idea
Morse code was created for Samuel F. B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, Morse code was also extensively used for early radio communication beginning in the 1890s, which sent pulses of electrical current to control an electromagnet that was located at the receiving end of the telegraph wire. Its a technology available at the time made it impossible to print characters in a readable form, so the inventors had to devise an alternate means of communication. As time passes by, morse code has been replaced by machine readable formats, such as Baudot code and ASCII.
Although morse code is going to obsolete due to minimal usage. It is important because you might need it for emergency signaling, Morse code can be sent by way of improvised sources that can be easily "keyed" on and off.
The concept behind this morse code idea is to play the message from online interface that the user can contribute their own stories or their interpretation of the sight to the “live” installation by translating it to morse code.
