Ursonate — The Strips, with Sound
Jack Ox's painted visualization of Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate , strip by strip, each with its section of the recording. 103 strips · 103 recordings · October 2026, for the Jack Ox Archive.Provenance note (from Jack Ox): later computer analysis showed the voice on the recording is actually Ernst Schwitters, recorded in 1955 — not Kurt. Ernst himself authenticated it as his father's performance, and a Cologne tribunal confirmed it. It remains true that Ernst knew how his father performed it.
