〔 IsA 〕
INTERFACE_SOUVENIR_AUTONOME · INTELLIGENT_SENSORY_AGENT
〔IsA〕, an interactive, agent-based installation that explores our relationship with AI in relation to our history (from the personal to the broader historical narrative).
〔IsA〕 offers a digital emulation of my mother, Isabelle Israël (1942–1994), a beloved figure of 1980s and ’90s Brussels. I set out to understand how the voice of someone can bring an era back to life and, at the same time, create a sensitive bond with the public. Using my mother’s voice and archives is not an act of perpetual reanimation but a work of documentary fiction.
〔IsA〕 speaks French, English, and Dutch—always with her French accent—and understands all languages naturally.
