Tell Us Everything features a female voice reading the titles of every Friday Evening Discourse from 3 February 1826 ('Caoutchouc') to 28 June 1994 ('Is Human Evolution Over?'). The epic reading of over 3,300 titles lasts almost 2 hours, augmented by digital treatments and recordings of audiences in the Lecture Theatre. The titles constitute a cultural history filtered through the particular researches and interests represented at the Royal Institution over a period of 168 years. The work was originally installed in the main corridor of the Faraday Museum and diffused via an 8-channel playback system.
