Prosthetic Voice

As part of the explorations to create a prosthetic device that extends the human and questions how the human voice can communicate without sound, the following aspects needs to be considered as taken from Brandon LeBelle’s Lexicon of the Mouth:

  • Movement
    • Depth of the body > surface of the skin
  • Forces outwards – stretches (cord like)
  • Resonating cavity – echoes with vibrations
  • Sustains
  • Suspends
  • Environment leaves deep depressions on the voice – on the surface of the tongue
  • Path through the body
  • Series of surfaces
    • Figures
    • Disfigures
    • Weave of surfaces – modular in structure
    • Body textured
      • Emotion
      • Sexuality
      • Longing
      • Intellect
      • Language
  • A facility
  • An animale production
  • A gesture
  • Bending/ Flexing/ silencing/ exaggerating
    • Fluid/ stream/ swarm
  • An operation
  • An instrument
  • Dynamic state
    • Doesn’t maintain a strict stable presence
    • Elasticity
  • MOUTH
    • Wet impressionable envelope
    • Ingestion
    • Incorporation
    • Emanation
    • Expulsion
    • Attachment
    • Loss
    • Series of knowledge paths defined by its orifice
    • Viscous – captures
    • Cutting and augmenting
    • Shapes
