Imperfection is Beauty: AppleTalk by Jürg Lehni

AppleTalk, 2007 / 2002, Jürg Lehni

AppleTalk confronts two Apple computers with the imperfections of verbal communication. Using two microphones, text-to-speech and voice recognition software, the two machines continuously transform written sentences into spoken words and back into written form in an endless loop leaving room for error and automatic interpretation.
With its similarities to the children’s game known as Telefone Game or Chinese Whispers, it results in a constant permutation of text and a production of poetic errors and left overs.
