The departure point for the exhibition is the term “voice recognition”: It refers, on the one hand, to technological systems for language assistance and detection, which are silently creeping into many parts of our everyday lives. On the other, the second part of the formulation – recognition – indicates that this phenomenon already assumes a certain concept of a voice that is to be recognised. What is the basis of this (re)cognition? Which voices are heard, and which not? And isn’t there a potential advantage in remaining incognito?
Wake Words primarily presents moving image works and is thematically structured around the following four terms that obstruct the “correct” functioning of voice recognition systems: noise, echo, machine error, and improvisation. In this way, The Golden Pixel Cooperative activates visitors’ auditory perception. The open sound heard in the exhibition, designed by composer Rojin Sharafi, is based on the audio tracks of the works on display. The accompanying audio publication collects artistic-scientific contributions in the form of audio pieces.
