Erin Gee, What can a Vocaloid do? and Performance and Discussion with Sandra Annett

Erin Gee presented a reconfigured version of her 2011 work Voice of Echo: Song of Love for Technological Eyes, which invokes the mythological nymph, the very talkative Echo who loses her ability to speak except to repeat the last words of others. Gee takes a material-discursive twist to the Greek myth making concrete manifestations of Echo’s voice in the form of a song essay. Following the performance, Erin engaged in a discussion with new media audience studies researcher, Sandra Annett in the context of her work on the fan-generated virtual pop star Hatsune Miku.
