Time Based Text
A writing practice that records the interval between every keystroke and replays a text with its pauses, corrections and rhythm intact.
Time Based Text records writing as a performance. During playback, hesitations, corrections and changes of pace return with millisecond timing, carrying emphasis that a finished block of digital text normally discards.
The software was made by Jaromil and conceived jointly with JODI. It is a portable, open-source implementation commissioned through IMPAKT; the research does not establish the commission year. It was exhibited in Speaking Out Loud at the Netherlands Media Art Institute in 2008–09.
