Hi Anna.
this is brilliant (or at least something I feel that I can completely
latch onto).
I just tried it with a short text.
the perl is straightforward enough, but also an object of contemplation
in its own right. Since I want to read the genesis text for which it
was written, I am left to generate it on my own which must be a feat of
durational cinema (or durational net radio if you could have it read
aloud by a bot as each word was added). And maybe running it on a slow
computer would be something different from running it on a fast one (
e.g., 6 seconds versus 6 days???)
...The perl code provocatively introduces the question of temporality
into that open-sourced "vocalization into matter"..
