Hearing Voices: Speakers / Languages
App v2.1, 2015
This interactive app for Mac OS X or Windows was first developed to accompany the Hearing Voices installation. Designed in collaboration with Rob Munro at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and updated in 2015 by David Nathan at ELP Publishing, the app presents superb recordings of highly endangered Khoi and San ‘click languages’, made in the Kalahari Desert in collaboration with linguist Dr Andy Chebanne and artist Denise Hawrysio.
