Converting text to sound & smoke

Posted by Avi Ashkenazi under Experiments, Just fun, Voice

Designed by Iranian-born artist Ali Momeni and Robin Mandel, with participation of Matthew Brackett. In this work, titled “Smoke and Hot Air”, the system searches for sentences including the words “attack Iran” on Google News. The sentences go through a text-to-speech synthesizer. The voice is in turn picked up by a microphone, analyzed, and translated into rhythmically corresponding smoke rings from a quartet of wooden smoke ring makers.
