"Listening", is a CGI composition created entirely with advanced gaming technology, specifically Unreal Engine. The audio, sound design, and dialogues were created utilizing using AI language models such as SoundGen and ElevenLabs.io, which use text-to-speech technology. The piece juxtaposes modern consumer electronics with natural and industrial materials, including AirPods, microchips, and silicon stones housed in a translucent bottle. This container conjures a sense of clinical sterilization, with its transparent design providing an unhindered view of gadgets that are essential to our daily life. Furthermore, the created dialogues are methodically edited to communicate emotions using the language model, addressing issues of authenticity, voice cloning, and privacy in the digital age.
