Hi - I thought you'd like this Audioboo by Geof Huth:

http://audioboo.fm/boos/901593-a-computer-reading-of-ed-baker-s-stone-girl?utm_campaign=detailpage&utm_content=retweet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=email

http://audioboo.fm/boos/901593-a-computer-reading-of-ed-baker-s-stone-girl

in 2006
after getting Book 5 of Stone Girl E-pic into the computer
Micah
wrote a program that 'told' the computer to read the entire section.... about 260 pages !

neat how this (drone?) artificial 'voice' reads
even
the spaces...
sort-of "clips" along like
mind/thoughts work?

had I known that Geof was recording this on his little-red-phone
I wld have (maybe) cleaned up my language !

well: maybe?

Ed

p.s. this is the computer reading of about the first 6 pages of the 260 .
almost even for me...too much !

here is Geof's post (so far) of his visit yesterday:

MUSEO DEL TENDAL / La TERTULIA DE MARÍA en agosto 2012. Santa Lucía.


LA TERTULIA DE MARÍA: una rutina mensual de encontrarse.

Cada primer viernes de mes en la instalación del MUSEO DEL TENDAL , proyecto de difusión de TENDALES/sl ubicado en la Ex-Guardería de SERAL, ha ido permitiendo un encuentro que ya está registrado, en cada vez más cantidad de agendas personales. La variedad de las propuestas permite la posibilidad de acceder, piel a piel... al contacto con creaciones y creadores que a su vez, también disfrutan de esa posibilidad de encuentro, en el entendido de que ARTE y CULTURA sin comunicación es la soledad. La acción de arte ES comunicación, por lo que La Tertulia de MARÍA cumple con creces el objetivo y a su vez el público, creciente mes a mes, cumple su rol e interactúa de manera cada vez más participativa y no está lejano el momento donde en afinidad al encuentro, aportará sus cosas que van desde lo creativo hasta lo vivencial como manera de armar ese puzzle vital y comunitario, desde donde crecer y creer en lo que vendrá a partir de nosotros mismos y de nuestras historias personales. La danza, el teatro, la música, la poesía, los cuentos...construyen huesos y tendones a esos mundos interiores en acción de encuentro, para construir entre todos ese lugar donde compartir y compartirnos desde nuestras diferencias. La TERTULIA DE MARÍA crece...no está lejano el momento donde otros lugares y otras formas de comunicación serán sus habitat naturales. La vida aún merece celebrarse desde nuestra singular creación.
