Complex Listening
work in progress

Proposal: Visitors walk into a room where 3 projectors project scattered, moving words onto a wall where layers of paper are hung. One person is writing the words as they appear onto the paper, overlapping some. Visitors may begin to notice that conversations they are having are being projected onto the walls. On day 2, the sheets of paper with the words are papered onto adjoining walls with lines drawing connections between associated words. Words continue to project over these walls. On day 3, additional, more complex and aesthetic diagrams connecting words, and the form the erratic lines they take, are displayed on shelves or in an open book. Words continue to project over the walls.
