The Typewriter

2009; typewriter, speakers, dictionary

Each time a key is pushed on the typewriter, the letter is simultaneously written and vocalized. Hence, pushing the 'a' key results in both typing and hearing 'a'. The typewriter uses the Turkish alphabet and pronunciation; and the sounds were recorded by the artist.
