Noise is full of words

Based in Brussels, VOID is the artistic collective founded in 2013 by Mauro Vitturini and Arnaud Eeckhout. Initially conceived as a performance, Noise is full of words has now become a site-specific installation in which voice recognition software records in real time that which it perceives of the sound produced by musical instruments.

 

The technical problem, arising from the relationship between sound and the programme created to interpret the voice, becomes the basis of this work of art, the result of which is set to be a printed book – its pages containing the translation into words and phrases that a computer will complete erroneously starting from the noisy mass of the sounds produced by the instruments.
