The memory is the complete text from the King James version of the Bible and the object is an old Webster's Dictionary. The Bible is whispered from the dictionary one letter at a time. The work stores the ASCII text of the Bible and the artist's voice whispering the letters of the alphabet. The electronic text from the Bible accesses the whispered letters one at a time, creating a representation of the artist reading the Bible. While recording the letters being whispered, Mozart's Requiem was playing in the background, so each whispered letter has a fragment of the music associated with it.
