"My laptop’s automated computer voice reads the beginning of the English Wikipedia entry on “Truth.” While the text is read aloud by the laptop, a microphone connected to the same computer listens to the artificial voice, interprets it with speech recognition software, and translates it back into written text. After a short break, the computer begins to read the newly translated text aloud. Again, the computer writes it down and rereads this version of the text. The procedure is repeated, ad infinitum, causing the text to slowly mutate. Dimensions: 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm
