About this work

Description

"Artist and writer Aaron Williamson, who is profoundly deaf, investigates the language produced by speech recognition software in his distinctly lo-fi performance actions. Fizzing wax, furniture scrapes, fanned air and various other sounds produced by the performances are diverted from the artist’s deafness and converted into text by the hearing computer. Hearing things reflects on this process with a stream of prose poems that accompany the generated texts and the book is profusely illustrated with self-photographed images from the performances."--From publisher's website.
