PodcastBot

Noga Kril

Everyone speaks to themselves, in the constant internal dialogue that takes place in the conscious and unconscious mind, during all waking and sleeping hours. When our external world falls silent, our stream of thought can become too loud, at times leading us to wish for an internal volume knob. The PodcastBot project invites users to transcribe their inner dialogue and record a short podcast, hosted by an AI-powered bot. What happens when thoughts break the boundaries of consciousness, and are expressed in the physical world?

The initial version of this work was presented as part of the "Digital Dialogues" course, in the MFA program in Industrial Design at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, supervised by Liora Rosin and Boaz Lavie.
