==Proposal==
Ultimately, I decided it would be good to use this project to begin to explore the project I intend to work on next quarter. I have been working with voice recognition technologies and Mel Bochner's text 'Serial Art, Systems, Solipsism', developing a device for performance and exchange between human and computer. The device consists of a microphone, Speech To Text system, and receipt printer. The system transcribes (and validates) whatever it hears only in terms of the words it knows. As is characteristic of voice recognition, face recognition, and other types of "machine perception, this truly is a solipsistic system ('denying the existence of anything outside the confines of it's own mind'). The challenge for me next term is to develop the sound component of this piece as performance/installation.
