Metaphone: Distinguishing Human and Machine

Through various forms of interaction, the Metaphone1 project asks important questions about relationship between human and machine (in the fields of interac- tive arts and Human-Computer Interaction) and how those two may interact creating artistic knowledge. Control issue is raising questions on combinations of chaos and systematic control, while one version of the art installation provides means for creating artworks through participants’ emotions and feelings (GSR and HR sensors). However, exploring ways of expression, the notion of authorship (from artistic perspective) is still in question: debating who owns the final artwork, if the machine could own the work and create artistically, is the participant still politically in charge, while finally, live creative process is always left free and open.
