Planchette Bot re-creates the aura of few of the global figures in automated voice and hologram. The select historical figures include M. K. Gandhi, Malcom X, and Nelson Mandela, among others. Their personalities are recreated by incorporating AI and Machine Learning from the data sets of their writings, images, audio, video and other archival materials and historical documents through rigorous research. The use of neural networks, Machine Learning models and speech synthesis are central to rebuild their persona in automated voice and visuals. The project outcomes include a series of live performances where in-depth conversations with few of these leading lights are staged inviting sensate audiences to participate in.
