Voice assistants are becoming increasingly common across diverse demographics. During a sweltering August in Athens, a fictional virtual assistant named Voice appears on screen each day at 5:30 p.m. Over the course of seven days—and facing its imminent fate in an e-waste dump—Voice offers playful yet sharp advice on how to evade online surveillance. Drawing on philosopher Rosi Braidotti’s notion of the voice as the “audio footprint of the soul,” Voice provokes reflection on issues of privacy, identity, and control.
Speaking is a deeply personal act; it carries traces of our past and signals our present. But what happens when machines are trained to detect our physical and emotional states, to predict our desires, fears, illnesses, and needs—while simultaneously harvesting our behavioural surplus? What, then, are voice assistants to us? Are they companions, obedient servants, or biometric supervisors quietly monitoring our lives?
