Ameca Voice Cloning – There doesn’t seem to be a day going by that doesn’t involve a new announcement about advances in AI. I wholeheartedly believe that all artists should make themselves fully aware of both the opportunities and threats presented by this. Ameca is a highly advanced robot that I mentioned in my research paper. Even since writing that paper things have substantially moved on. Below is a short clip of Ameca speaking using the voices of famous people. In my opinion to say that we are rapidly approaching a ‘post truth society’ is an understatement. I think it’s already here.
Scientist in Residence Project – I had the best news ever today! To say I’m super excited is an understatement! After being so disappointed at being rejected for the ‘Mattering Life’ project – the organiser emailed me today :-). A place has become available and as a result I was invited!! This just completely made my day!! The project runs from the 18th – 22nd March, which is directly after the Low Residency at CSM (Central Saint Martins). I am so excited and I am looking forward to documenting it all.
