#SOPHYGRAY – A Feminist Voice Bot
Jan 20, 2024 to Feb 10, 2024
alpha nova galerie futura, Berlin
As part of the Vorspiel 2024 program by transmediale and CTM, alpha nova & galeria futura hosted the Berlin premiere of Nadja Verena Marcin’s #SOPHYGRAY – A Feminist Voice Bot. This exhibition marked the culmination of a three-year project in which the artist, in collaboration with over 40 contributors, developed SOPHY9000—a voice bot trained to engage in conversations about identity, art, and feminism.
#SOPHYGRAY responds to questions in surprising, philosophical, and humorous ways, drawing on an ever-expanding, moderated knowledge base informed by intersectional feminist perspectives. Through interaction, users shape and teach the bot, contributing to a growing repository of transnational feminist thought.
