Seeing Voices #17

Seeing Voices is a new series of AI images generated by the performance Voice In My Head (https://lauren-mccarthy.com/voice-in-my-head), a collaboration with Kyle McDonald. In that performance, participants place a bud in their ear and are guided by an AI-augmented voice in their head that listens in and offers commentary. The Seeing Voices images are generated based on phrases spoken in live sessions of Voice In My Head. Each text phrase is rendered visual with a drawing, where the artist performs the role of machine interpreter.
