The Weekly Address, a Model for a Politician researches the role of language and image profiles in politics and their ability to influence our judgement.
The installation employs speech recognition and machine learning to analyse patterns in a politician’s way of speaking. While machine learning recognises patterns and produces reliable and repeatable results based on a data set, politicians construct patterns through rhetoric, often repeating their message to convey their own truth.
