LGTPS (2024)

Lets Get This Party Started or LGTPS in short is an installation that sprouted from my research into large language models (LLMs). I wanted to see if I could locally get a timely response into the machine to finaly have a natural conversation with an AI.

I asked an AI (several models in the experiment) to chat with each other. The twist being, that I vocalise their output using TTS (text-to-speech) and let them hear each other throuch STT (speech-to-text). Yes they make mistakes... They are connnected to each other through two telephones. When their programs starts, they are just listening. To start the conversation, I speak in both phones at the same time... "let's get this party started"

To visualize and simulate 2 AIs having a conversation with some vocal understanding problems I made an installation where they would have to talk to each other. Instead of anthropomorphizing them, I used telephone old horns as the embodiment of voice and ears.
