Artist's social medias
Interactive installation. Voice recognition system, text-to-image generator, microphone, projection, interaction palette. Variable dimensions.
Voice Scroll is a real-time voice-to-panoramic image generator. Live speech is translated into an unfolding panorama in real-time. It can be used either as a public interactive installation or in real-time performance. It is an example of BMO Lab’s experiments in using machine learning systems in real-time performance environments and of their mission to create experiential situations where one can intuitively prod, poke, and probe machine learning systems.
