The artwork uses an AI model which captures a selection of keywords displayed by The Cost of Your Words, the sculpture positioned in the terrace, and weaves them together in a dialogue .
Fake news is mixed with imaginary stories of escapism and holidays in imaginary countries.
The dialogue is spoken by two synthesised female voices from customer care services; the sound comes out of surface transducer speakers, connected to the sculptures themselves.
A tiny motion sensor finally surveils the gallery space and plays the dialogue when the audience walks in and moves around the works. The sculptures are meant to be reminiscent of empty billboards, and are realised with reclaimed extruded aluminium profiles, the type of which are normally used in temporary work spaces and factories.
The transducer speakers are of the same type that is often adopted in point of sale communication across supermarkets, airports and malls. Attached to the structure of the structures, they transform these into resonating speakers.
