The Voices in my Head. Four excerpts from a screen recording of one eight-minute visit, from its first minute to its last, at real speed, with sound, 27 September 2026.
The Voices in my Head
A room that rebuilds itself twice a second out of what the internet is saying right now. Photographs, sentences, dreams and sound arrive from public sources, talk over each other, and are never kept.draft
The Voices in my Head is a live work on a single clock: two beats a second. On every beat it pulls new material from open sources, photographs from public archives such as Wikimedia Commons, Europeana and iNaturalist, sentences from Wikipedia, Hacker News, Mastodon and Stack Exchange, dreams people have published, public domain film and the earthquakes of the last hour, and lays it over what was there before. Four voices speak at once. Into this stream the artist placed a few fixed things of her own choosing, among them some skies and five seconds of a woman crying.
The piece has no pause and no volume control, only a small way out. Round by round it adds another surface, until something breaks every round. Nothing is stored: each visit is heard once and gone.
The work is dedicated to We Feel Fine by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, which the artist first saw as a design student in 2010. Where that project listened to the internet's feelings, this one lets its noise into one head at once.
Made with Claude Code.
