# Word Receipt Installations Heard Words by Between Art and Technology is Like a Childhood Game By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-25 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heard-words References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672427/an-installation-puts-an-artistic-twist-on-a-childhood-game) & [batstudio](http://www.batstudio.co.uk/Heard-Words-1) The Heard Words art installation can be likened to the childhood game of telephone. But instead of playing with a bunch of people simultaneous, it is more of a solo experience that connects through others in a different way. Comprised of a series of [suspended microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-sound-piece), the Heard Words installation transcribes and [prints every utterance in real time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-scribe). Flowing down like endless receipts, these sounds, words and phrases are left to be read by others. Over the course of time it becomes "a [spatial and sculptural record](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) of data collected from people who have been within the space," as described by the designers. The Heard Words installation was created by Between Art and Technology for an open artists’ competition held by Rogues Galleries, in Chester, England. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Real-time Data Collection:** Installation captures real-time data to create spatial and sculptural records for future analysis - **Interactive Art Installations:** Creating unique and interactive art installations that engage visitors in a personalized experience - **Transcription Technology Advancements:** Advancements in transcription technology opens up new possibilities for creating art installations that records every utterance in real time ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Culture:** Create unique and engaging art installations that use technology to capture real-time data, open new possibilities for artistic expression - **Event Management:** Incorporating interactive art installations in events can create more personalized and engaging experiences for attendees and collecting data for future analysis - **Transcription Services:** Developing new technologies and services for real-time transcription advancements, such as art installations and other innovative applications ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban Soundscape Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation.md) - [Interactive Mountain Oracles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whispering-mountains.md) - [Water-Covered Speaker Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaped-by-water.md) - [Whimsical Woven Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-speakers.md) - [Immersive Audio-Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/180-the-strand.md) - [Tubed Immersive Organ-Like Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organlike-installation.md) - [Multi-Sensory Sound Installtions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-the-sound.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md)
