They shout to the point of exhaustion. They detach themselves from originator and source. They come from the dead who sing a duet with the living. The human sounds like a machine, Barbie like Ken, the on-board computer like a gentle friend. Voices staged and imagined by artists not only make audible the strange in the familiar, the monstrous in the everyday; they also repeatedly pose the question: who is actually speaking? - The feature was created in connection with the exhibition His Master's Voice: On Voice and Language at Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) Dortmund.
Inke Arns, *1968 in Duisdorf/Bonn, curator and author, is artistic director of the Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) in Dortmund. She lives in Berlin and Dortmund.

HUMAN BROWSER is a search engine in human form. Via a headset the performer receives search results in real time. S/he shares these results with the bystanding visitors by announcing them loudly. The speech flow is confusing but makes reference to the context time and again. An irritating, surprising and quite amusing encounter!
During a one-day workshop the participants try to evaluate how to deal creatively with the news. Workshop for teachers and educators. The workshop will be held in German only.
