For the press
The work is an electronic object by which you can listen to the Gospel of Matthew in any order, as selected by the visitor. The interface consists of 33 buttons, each corresponding to one of the most frequently mentioned words in the Gospel. If you press one of the buttons, the computer will read the first verse of the Gospel containing that word. Pressing the same button again will play the next verse.
The artist creates a digital symphony: you can listen to an entire Gospel by pressing a button. The device itself looks like a cross of pixels in which each colour is responsible for a certain category of words.
Presenting a sacred text through a technological interface, the artist suggests we regard it not as a narrative, but as a frequency array of words, where the most commonly encountered words reveal the semantic hierarchy of the text.
