From Siri to experimental art, the way we use our voices with technology is rapidly changing.

In constructing and deconstructing voice, we create digital archives of our lives, stretching beyond our IRL bodies to create digital replicas which could be beyond our control.

What are we leaving for future generations to find?

How will they experience these human-computer hybrid remnants of our lives?

Digital replicas created through chatbots, deepfakes and AI may blur our sense of trust and what listening means to us – but we can also encounter new possibilities for empathy, ethics and creativity.

Voice-controlled interfaces also offer playful and imaginative experiences that create new layers of meaning and social interaction.

Join local artists and researchers Dr Fraser Allison, Daz Chandler, Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey in this conversation hosted by Dr Niels Wouters about the sonic possibilities of filtering voices through technology.
