Holly Herndon

"Holly Herndon is an artist who does a lot of work with AI. She, with her partner, Matt, are taking AI into unexpected directions, in terms of music and sound and voice.

So much of the conversation around AI is dominated in the creative world by visuals.

I'm very intrigued with how they explore voice using AI. They just dig deeper into AI models, looking at the training of AI models as an artistic project in and of itself."
