Project in residence

Mouthsaic

Interactive installation

Mouthsaic explores the way in which digital tools alter or even destroy the original human message, making communication between people of different languages impossible and producing in “the cloud” an interesting conversation between humans and machines through different codes. This cloud can be visualized and listened to for an instant in the form of a great contemporary tower of babel.
Voice recognition, facial recognition, simultaneous translation and other current tools will lead the visitor not only to participate, but to become part, for a brief moment, of the work itself.
