Chinese Whispers


We have talked about eating our own words. But what about when we eat other peoples? In the game Chinese Whispers we "consume" what someone else has said to us and "regurgitate" what we heard (or more importantly, what we "think" we heard).

The result can often be amusing, confusing, bemusing.....and it leads into a whole area of misquotation, language games etc that we could explore.....



Maybe we could set a game of Chinese whispers in motion and record the results over half an hour. Might be an interesting experiment or just a simple side project to produce some typographic work.
