Descripción de la Exposición

A large, interactive installation. Through the use of interactive voice modulation technologies the work explores the production of hybrid bodies using responsive language. A 3D wireframe portrait of the spectator is captured through an intel depth camera and projected in real time. Using their own voice, the spectator morphs his/her image by mimicking the sounds of animals; by attempting to ‘become’ animal. As the sounds are picked up and recognized by the computer, and as the viewer learns cutes, the wire-frame portrait morphs into an animal. Voice modulation triggers the face transformation. Eight clay sculptures were produced from 3D scans of the wireframe portraits.
