“I am too complex,…” is an audio, sculptural artefact. This work comprises a roughly hewn, hollow, wooden head, slightly larger than that of the artist, mounted on the extended chromed steel pole of an old fashioned lighting stand, at a height just slightly taller than the artist. Inside the head is a microprocessor and speech synthesizer, a small amplifier and speakers and a battery power supply. The microprocessor is programmed to create the titular text of the piece using the algorithmic phonemes of the speech synthesizer. Over the course of a 60 minute cycle, a random factor causes the quality of the speech to deteriorate from a clipped robotic tone to a slurred, garbled, drunken ramble.
