EASTN-DC Residency at ZKM
14/09-08/10/2020 Karlsruhe (Germany) FEELS LIKE HOME
Our
surroundings do not often sonically correspond to our mood. In big
cities acoustic aggression from either mechanical or human agents is
almost unavoidable. The project aims to build a metaphor of this
disturbing aspect of our reality through the realisation of a
malfunctioning home IoT-controlled environment, which reacts to the
emotional content of a person's voice in surprising and not
necessarily tuned ways. Could this be a soft simulation of a future
dystopian human-machine sonic relationship? A model will be trained on a database of human and non-human voices, while the
possibilities offered by the IoT will be used to control household appliances. A website will offer visitors the opportunity to stimulate an inappropriate sonic response to the emotional content
of their own voices.
