Machines for Living :The Voice

Taking inspiration from my previous idea, I have chosen to look at how the voice is a key machine for living. Based around the early 20th century artistic view that the machine can be interpreted as an intricate natural system or organism such as the human body, I wish to explore how the voice is used, and how we are defined by the way we communicate. What fascinates me is the idea that  the voice can be interpreted simultaneously as both a product of a mechanism within the human body, and additionally as a concept of expression. I have been inspired to pursue this idea through the observation of a machine used to deliver vocal communication, namely through the technology to aid the disabled. While the machine used by those unable to speak embodies the idea of a machine for living, I am also inspired to document the variety of ways in which the voice is used to create impact.
