Vox PopulA.I: participatory sound sculpture

Vox PopulA.I

Yuri Suzuki and team; Pentagram; UAP; Science Centre Singapore

Introduction

Yuri Suzuki’s team brought generated choral sound and visitor vocal input into a public sculpture at Science Centre Singapore.

Why this entry remains in the timeline

Editorial interpretation: the sculpture places generation within a public environment of bodily and vocal participation. Its historical questions concern who supplies sound, how input enters a work and how an institution frames participation, alongside the capacity to compose automatically.

Archive editorial judgment based on the cited sources; this does not establish global priority.

RESEARCH ACCOUNT

Vox PopulA.I: participatory sound sculpture

ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-30

Work, institution and date

Pentagram describes five horns singing generated lyrics and melodies, with visitors addressing a grey ‘conductor’ sculpture. This is the team’s account of the mechanism. UAP’s fabrication record describes audience and environmental sound; neither account establishes the internal input mapping or training process.
