<P> Lucier said that a performance need not use his text, and that the performance may be recorded in any room . </P> <P> The text spoken by Lucier describes the process of the work, concluding with a reference to his own stuttering: </P> <P> I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now . I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed . What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech . I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have . </P> <P> In 2010, a YouTube user created an homage to I am sitting in a room entitled VIDEO ROOM 1000, in which he uploaded a video of himself speaking text similar to Lucier's original to YouTube, then manually downloaded and re-uploaded it 1,000 times in sequence over the course of a year, in order to demonstrate the resulting digital artifacting of audio and video analogously to Lucier's original demonstration of analog artifacting of audio . </P>
