Robin:
If people would ask me about my pronouns or introduce themselves with their pronouns I would feel more comfortable using they/them pronouns.
Kaya:
There are also situations where I feel comfortable with my voice, like when I feel very feminine or when I’m in an environment where people know I’m non-binary and just accept me for who I am.
Aaron:
But now I have the problem that my ID still says “Woman” and when someone calls me, for example, from the health insurance company, they think they called the wrong number, and that's sometimes embarrassing.
In interviews with three transgender people, the emotions expressed in the tone of voice, rhythm, choice of words, and timbre of speech are analysed by an artificial intelligence and used to change the surface of a 3D object that was previously created by simulating organic growth processes on polygonal surfaces.
In an animation, the object changes dynamically between flowing, flower-like forms and sharp, crystalline structures that look as fragile as crumpled paper.
In my Project “Trans Voices”, I'm highlighting the diversity of trans people's experiences - from the challenges of transitioning, passing, changing voices, and personal struggles. The result is a project in which the individual voices and stories within the transgender community are made visible.
