"Speak to me"
« Speak to me » analyses the non-verbal aspects of speech.
By objectively scanning a set of parameters associated with speech (vibration of vocal chords, respiration, intensity, pitch, etc.) and translating them into moving image, or « voice-aura » , the program reveals the emotional state of the speaker.
This programm is a performative piece which explores moving images as new forms of dialogue, new ways of telling narratives and archiving/documenting a live spectacle.
