Title:

    FaceType: Crafting Written Impressions of Spoken Expression

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    FaceType is an interactive installation that creates an experience of spoken communication through generated text. Inspired by Chinese calligraphy, the project transforms our spoken expression into handwriting. FaceType explores what parts of our spoken expression can be evoked in writing, and what the most natural form of interaction between the two might be. The work is aimed to allow lay audiences to experience emotion, emphasis, and critical information in speech. Further audience reflection about patterns in their expression and the role of unconscious and conscious expression provide new directions for further works.
