Last year, on a panel during my presence at Fantoche-Festival in Swizzerland, I stumbled upon Leonhard Müllner from the Total Refusal Collective, and I thought, why not do a spontanious Interview for our Podcast The Art Wire right accross in the Park. Turns out, i accidently recorded everything in German, which is not ideal for a english language podcast ;) So I thought, why not turn this into an AI Experiment: So I transcribed the whole interview, translated it to english, cloned my and Leonhards voices, and voilá, we have an english Version! So now we have this bizarr alloy of 100% percent human content, merged into 100% AI presentation. The music/background sound you will occasionally hear is also 100% AI generated, and tailored to the subjects we were talking about, which include the motivations of working as media guerillas, the politicalities of creating games, the dominance of dystopian subjects in current games and movies, rare utopias like solarpunk and many more.
The question is now: Did the somwhat artificial voices suck all life out of the interview? Or does it work somehow?
Well, you can decide for yourself, and for those who prefer german, you can listen to the attached full uncut german version of the interview starting at at 42 minutes and 10 seconds. (without music)
