Computer Voices/Speaking Machines
New works by David Rokeby, Jocelyn Robert, and Émile Morin

May 19 - July 29, 2001
Artists' Talk: May 19, 2001 @ 2:00pm
Opening reception: May 18, 2001 @ 7:00pm

Computer Voices/Speaking Machines is an innovative, interactive exhibition featuring the inspired work of new media artists David Rokeby, Jocelyn Robert and Émile Morin. These artists address the loss of voice, identity and free speech, at the turn of the Millennium and in the wake of new technologies.

The voice is our fundamental means of communication. Through their work these new media artists transform voice, speech, and song. The exhibition will feature La Salle des Noeuds III, an audiovisual installation by Jocelyn Robert and Émile Morin that uses electrical relays to transmit sounds and images from the Internet, and n-Cha(n)t by David Rokeby, a networked community of language-capable artificial agents that make their own associations as punsters, poets, and experts.

This exhibition is a joint presentation by the Walter Phillips Gallery and Banff Media Co-productions at the Banff Centre, and was funded in part by the Canadian Millennium Partnership Program.
