Documentation No.? (2019) is a self-referential video documentation, which displays a voice-over recording and post-production process on Adobe video and audio editing software. The artwork reverses the idea of manufacturing technology in the likeness of human. Dialogues selected from the original video were recorded word by word, in a process similar to Siri. This resulted in the humorous removal of tonal and natural speech pattern that distinguishes human from automated technology.

There are two versions below, the first shows the transition between a human voice and a seemingly automated voice. The latter exhibits more ambiguity in the humanness of the origin of the voice.
