Description (in English)

Oracle is a voice recognition and interpretive grammar based interactive performance artwork. The performer's speech, a series of questions posed by the audience, is acquired and presented in a digital projection. The computer system reads the acquired and collective texts, as they are layered upon one another, and generates answers to each question using a word from each of the prior questions.

Technical notes

Oracle requires a Intel based Mac pro computer, video projection and a speech recognition optimised microphone. The software was mainly authored by the artist but also requires Macspeech Dictate to be installed.
