Cloning voices and making kin: A multivocal AI approach to kinship
Presentation Subtheme:
Speculative practices
Abstract:
Synthetic voice cloning tools are becoming increasingly accessible for artistic engagements. This paper contributes to unfolding the growing aesthetic potential of this development by 1) providing an overview of existing frameworks and approaches that might be used in artistic and design work, 2) situating voice cloning as a form of making kin by relating it to the concepts of kin networks, assembling and attachment sites and 3) presenting three speculative approaches to creating multivocal synthetic voices that seek to make kinships explicit.
