Visualizations of voice identities based on speech samples of bilingual speakers

This project invites to think about bilingualism by asking yourself where this diversity relates to identity. Based on the question if the same speaker has several voices depending on which language is spoken the project offers a possibility to visualize voices. Users can set themselves in the position of an interviewee in the generative design application and a projected exhibition. The questions leading to a visualization also make it possible to deal with the topic of identity formation in multilingualism. Aim is to get a picture of one's own voice identity both in a visual sense as well as in terms of content. This is performed in the context of a visualization. Furthermore, personal approaches of interviewees can be explored. The intention is to guide viewers to their own point of view, stimulated by questions and by comparing the own position to statements made by other speakers. Monolinguals as well as multilinguals are addressed with the project. Creating an awareness of the versatility of personal situations in relation to bilingualism is performed through personal experience, without imposing specific information.

The aim of this project is to evoke questions.
