Voicemail, a sonic collage of The Matrix script, spoken by my voice and altered by AI. Voicemail aims to articulate the moment I describe as my trans becoming. The Matrix, in recent years, has become known for its underlying Trans allegory. Because of this, I have chosen to hear my voice through its words. The work describes a dialogue/monologue between a multitude of voices speaking as one/other. The incorporation of AI facilitates a link to the narrative of the film, as the outcome forms through a collaboration with technology. The link between technology and the discovery of the self, as seen in the film, has been key in my artistic enquiry. My methodology has a focus on collage through the sonic. My creative exploration incorporated computer AI models throughout by way of intervention on the sound, or in some cases complete manufacturing of sound.
