Experience the sound installation Virtual Voiɔɘƨ by Margarita Wenzel – featuring a choir of AI-generated vocal clones speaking in unison while remaining distinct – brought to life through a live choral performance by the Bobigny Conservatory Choir, composed of 8th and 9th grade students from Collège Angela Davis.

Through layered harmonies and a recursive dialogue with these artificial voices, the choir explores the subtle boundary between individual expression and collective identity. Their living presence reinvests the synthetic, transforming digital glitches into gestures of human resonance. In this moment of collective sonic reappropriation, the choir becomes both mirror and counterpoint to the virtual voices, inviting reflection on voice, identity, and community in an interconnected world.

The students:
Yasmine Azzaoui, Adam Bahida, Rym Bedreddine, Artiom Covalciuc, Keyann Etienne, Eloïsha Lincy, Lina Hamouga, Ashton Joseph, Rayane Yastene Lahlouh, Annel Mayanga, Joyce Mbwebwe Kalambo, Lisa Medar, Awa Coumba Seck, Awa Sissoko, Safia Sissoko, Alecs Stoica, Hugo Veber

Choir Director: Mathilde Gatouillat
Accompanist: Anne Mazeau

 

Also, discover the work of Paulius Šliaupa, brought to life through the presence of the actor from The Hermit, the artist's film.
The film explores the life of a hermit in a Lithuanian village, reflecting the country’s geopolitical tensions.
