Testimony, Common Voice - An Exhibition of the AI Interactive Testimony Content, “Encountering Testimonies”

This is where the validity of the questions posed by this tangible AI interactive testimony content to the viewer lies: bringing up issues again about what to ask, not what to listen to. That’s because asking well must be accompanied by the constant consideration of the questioner. This, of course, would be to restore asking within the process of listening, not a reconversion or return to asking.

The voices that rolled inside bodies – Emily Jungmin Yoon’s collection of poems A Cruelty Special to Our Species
