partikel

partikel is a reflection on the attempts to establish pervasive voice control for devices on a large scale. in contrast to so-called personal assistants such as Alexa or Siri, partikel is not about subordinating one's own speech to the utilitarian computer systems and its economic structures. it is all about expanding the sound and language possibilities of the voice and exploring new forms of expression.

partikel is an interactive dynamic sound text installation in which visitors control the visual and acoustic events through their voices. everything reacts to each other: the sound influences the image and the image the sound. the visitors can control the complex behaviour of the sounding letters with the pitch, sound quality and volume of their voices and experiment with them with relish.
