From February 2022 to February 2024, I recorded the entire Oxford Collocation Dictionary for Students of English(Oxford University Press – OUP) for an installation related to aphasia. Tens of thousands of hours of reading.

Since it involved roughly 10,000 videos, I also intended to sell them as NFTs and donate a large part of the proceeds to Alzheimer’s research.

I did not obtain the copyright, and I spent tens of thousands of hours—two full years, from morning to morning—reading for nothing. Even Alzheimer’s research did not receive a single cent. OUP simply said, “No, we are against it.”
