Hosting The Breeder and Martins & Montero

The Breeder is pleased to participate in Condo London with Not Allowed for Algorithmic Audiences, a project by Kyriaki Goni, hosted at Public Gallery.

Each day, around 3.7 million new videos are uploaded to YouTube alone. Human body sounds from these videos are collected, labeled, and used to build audio datasets that train algorithms. As voice UIs become more common, voice assistant usage grows across age groups. In a hot August in Athens, a fictional virtual assistant named “Voice” emerges on screen each day at 5:30 p.m. Over seven days, this AI—facing its impending end in an ewaste dump—shares playful advice on evading online surveillance. Reflecting on philosopher Rosi Braidotti’s idea of voice as a “soul’s audio footprint,” Voice raises questions about privacy, identity, and surveillance.
