ULTRACHUNK (unfortunately canceled)
Jennifer Walshe (IE), Memo Akten (TR)
What are the implications of using your voice to improvise with a neural network? Composer Jennifer Walshe and artist Memo Akten present ULTRACHUNK (2018), a neural network trained on a corpus of Walshe’s solo vocal improvisations. Here, Walshe wrangles with an artificially intelligent duet partner – one that reflects a distorted version of her own improvisatory language and individual voice.
