Robin Rimbaud-Scanner Creates Limited Edition Poster and Sussurra Luce Festival Releases 2026 Catalogue
Artist Robin Rimbaud, known as Scanner, has produced a limited edition poster titled 'VOICE_ERASE.PY' that features programming code which captures speech through a microphone, converts it to text using Google's recognition system, and then deletes the text entirely. This work explores the poetic and unsettling interactions between human voice and technology. Additionally, the Sussurra Luce sound art festival has published a catalogue for its 2026 edition, which focuses on artistic applications of voice and technology. The festival was directed by Massimo Torrigiani and Francesco Cavaliere, with general coordination by Giusy Ottonelli and curation by Alessandro Ludovico. It included performances by Erin Gee, Antye Greie-Ripatti AGF, Alessandra Eramo, Marinos Koutsomichalis, and Robin Rimbaud-Scanner, along with a DJ set by Aurelio Cianciotta and a symposium featuring Amina Abbas-Nazari, Ryan Bishop, Enzo Mansueto, and Morten Sondergaard.
