"In fact, I think I should just start recording everything, every day, all the time, and convert the audio to text."
About a decade or perhaps 15 years ago in Birmingham UK, the Ikon gallery had a multi-artist exhibition of a conceptual nature. one of the artists had used a micro-cassette recorder to record every word he uttered over a week and then had the tapes transcribed by audio-typists. The results where exhibited as an impressively high stack of A4 sheets. Unfortunately, they were, apart from a few sample sheets on the wall, piled in a glass case thus preventing viewers from sampling the text. I was taking bets on the sheets that were hidden from view being blank. The artist also exhibited the micro-cassette recorder and tapes used.
Google has nothing to say about the exhibit, but it has to be said my memory is a bit short on key words.
