In the interview #SOPHYGRAY: Kollektive Feministische Intelligenz (KFI) und ihre Alter Egos by Verena Voigt, artist Nadja Verena Marcin delves into her project #SOPHYGRAY—a Feminist Voicebot designed to challenge gender stereotypes in AI applications. Drawing from a distinctive archive of feminist thinkers like Bell Hooks, Audre Lorde, and others, #SOPHYGRAY operates as a collective feminist intelligence. The audio-bot invites users into a dialog that seamlessly blends poetry, philosophy, and critique, disrupting traditional uses of voice assistants.
Starting Jul 6, 2024, #SOPHYGRAY will be featured at FORT Biennale_01 at Fortress Franzensfeste, where it will engage audiences both digitally and in person. This AI performance reimagines virtual assistance through a feminist lens, sparking conversations around identity, empowerment, and the digital future. Marcin’s work provides a thought-provoking experience, urging viewers to reconsider technology’s role in shaping culture and communication.
