foukenstein
foukenstein is a conversational performance that gives voice to an artificial figure freely inspired by Michel Foucault. Starting from a written question, the dispositif produces a spoken response by combining generative speech synthesis, the mobilization of theoretical references and short-term memory.
It does not seek to simulate Foucault, nor to offer a faithful incarnation of him, but rather to construct a critical monster: an artificial, unstable, and ambivalent presence, capable of statements that are sometimes accurate, sometimes flawed. Through this synthetic voice, foukenstein questions how theoretical authority can be fabricated, replayed, and unsettled by a technical dispositif.
