Synthetic Voice – Chain Exploration 1

Taking the notion of restrictions and the creation of tension between the voice and the body I explored another object of restriction in the form of a chain. This again incorporated with the mouth to show this physical tension and textured in fleshy colours to create a contrast between the cold, hard effect of the object and the soft, malleable biological voice. Whilst this does work to show restriction, the fact that by its intrinsic nature a chain is metallic and therefore a solid object goes against the idea of the plasticity of the body. Even when textured as such it still doesn’t reflect something that should be wet, viscous and fleshy.

However when we combine the chain with the tentacle you can view this as a layering of the voice and the body, the hard chain evokes the skeleton or teeth and the fleshy tentacle evokes the tongue. Constricted together we can breakdown the form of the human and re-form it and the voice with the synthetic to develop a device that shows the intensity of a fleshy plasticity equally viscous and horrific.
