#hermanmelville #200aniversario “¡Cartas no reclamadas!, ¿no les suena eso a cadáveres? Imaginen un hombre por naturaleza y por desgracia proclive a una exangűe desesperanza. Veamos, ¿Existe otro trabajo más adecuado para acrecentar esta desesperanza que el de manipular continuamente esas cartas no reclamadas y clasificarlas para destruírlas? Porque las queman a montones cada año. Algunas veces, entre las dobleces del papel, el pálido empleado encuentra un anillo. El dedo al que iba destinado tal vez ya se corrompe en la tumba. O un billete enviado con la más diligente de las caridades. Aquel a quien iba dirigido ya ha dejado de comer ni volverá a tener hambre. El perdón para quienes murieron desesperados. La ilusión para los que murieron sin esperanza. Buenas noticias para quienes murieron sofocados por insoportables calamidades. Portadoras de mensajes de vida estas cartas se apresuran hacia la muerte. Ay, Bartleby. Ay, la humanidad.”
Blindly Listening is an installation that connects the online presence of @meter_kbh to the physical space of the exhibition: A microphone continuously records the conversations taking place in the gallery, after which a computer transcribes them using speech recognition and uploads them to the display site's website. Here, the spoken Danish sentences are mixed, at random with the site's original English-language texts about the past, present and future activities of the site. @meter_kbh #BlindlyListening #iwouldprefernotto #art #exhibition #bartlebythescrivener #nonproductive #takingbacktime #statenskunstfond #københavnsbilledkunstudvalg
