In ‘dada da ta’ over 50 hours of video interviews with leading figures in the global tech industry have been transcribed using the IBM Watson AI speech to text programme. A custom-made computer programme then identified the instances when the participants spoke using numbers. It then abstracts these words from the source videos, leaving the interview’s chronology intact yet reduced to a stream of numbers:

“One, one billion, one million, one hundred million, two billion, one, two hundred, ten thousand, eighteen thousand, two, two, two, ten, fifteen, nine thousand.” Elon Musk.
