A Scientific and Artistic Catalog
What kind of relationship do we have with artificial beings (avatars, puppets, robots, etc.)? What does it mean to mirror ourselves in them, to perform them or to play trial identity games with them? Actor & Avatar addresses these questions from artistic and scholarly angles.

Contributions on the making of »technical others« and philosophical reflections on artificial alterity are flanked by neuroscientific studies on different ways of perceiving living persons and artificial counterparts. The contributors have achieved a successful artistic-scientific collaboration with extensive visual material.

Forschung zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft
Mit Reflexionen und Ansätzen zur begrifflichen Auslegung von künstlerischer Forschung, Fallbeispielen zur Umsetzung einer praxisorientierten Forschung sowie einem Gespräch an der Schnittstelle von Forschungs- und Filmförderung, richtet subTexte 04 den Fokus auf Forschung und Film. Film wird dabei nicht nur als autorschaftliches Medium der Forschung begriffen, sondern ist selber ein Medium der Forschung.

![Acoustics of the Vowel. Preliminaries | Dieter Maurer [E-Book PDF]](https://publikationen.zhdk.ch/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/medium-2-324x486.jpg)
It seems as if the fundamentals of how we produce vowels and how they are acoustically represented have been clarified: we phonate and articulate. Using our vocal chords, we produce a vocal sound or noise which is then shaped into a specific vowel sound by the resonances of the pharyngeal, oral, and nasal cavities, that is, the vocal tract. Accordingly, the acoustic description of vowels relates to vowelspecific patterns of relative energy maxima in the sound spectra, known as patterns of formants. The intellectual and empirical reasoning presented in this treatise, however, gives rise to scepticism with respect to this understanding of the sound of the vowel. The reflections and materials presented provide reason to argue that, up to now, a comprehensible theory of the acoustics of the voice and of voiced speech sounds is lacking, and consequently, no satisfying understanding of vowels as an achievement and particular formal accomplishment of the voice exists. Thus, the question of the acoustics of the vowel – and with it the question of the acoustics of the voice itself – proves to be an unresolved fundamental problem.
