Joe Tilson: I See with My Ears and Hear Through My Fingertips

Joe Tilson is one of Britain's foremost contemporary artists and is obsessed with the problems of flesh and blood human beings living in a mechanical, scientific world. Using the analogy of a computer, he explains what he calls the 'hardware/software scene.' Hardware, or technology, solves the physical problems of the world but not the human ones. These human, or software, problems remain largely unsolved. Joe Tilson has his own peculiar way of illustrating his reaction to the problem.
