CLEFS D’ÂME

performance, 2016

In this interactive Exquisite Corpse performance, participants submit personal memories, which are then translated using homophonic translation software into multiple languages. These translations are combined with digitally sampled soundscapes, creating an interactive performance where participants hear their stories reflected back in unfamiliar forms.

By using homophonic translations and digital tools to manipulate language and storytelling, a space is created where participants explore the boundaries of language and digital mediation.
