Hand-painted seat cushion, raspberryPi, customised keyboard and monitor
Programming by Robert Thomas
How can we describe to each other our unique hearing acuity, which varies from person to person? And how can it be visualised? Explaining the technicalities of audiology and sound identification exhausts the conversation. Instead, I suggest Phoneme Terminal 1.0 - an interactive installation that allows visitors to read how I hear. Get comfortable on the yellow cushion, type a thought, a greeting, or a secret, and try to read what comes out.
