speechguitar.jpgJon Cambeul, sound artist and designer, member of someth;ng and creator of the Speech Guitar has three works created since 1997 bearing the name Auto Confessional (version 1, 2 and 3) which remind me of the confessional booth in THX 1138. The second and third are particularly interesting as they have networked aspects, however information on these works is minimal on Jon’s youtube site and there is no information that I can find on the something site.

Auto Confessional 1 (video below) or Automatic Confessional Machine “…was designed and built in 1997 in Swindon UK and exhibited in specific public spaces around the East End of London, and various rural locations in Wiltshire between 1997-1998.

The ACM is made from recycled electronic hardware and custom built electronics. A CCTV Camera, A printer, A Computer, DC Halogen and UV Lighting, An LED Relaxation Device, and scrolling banner, Two mini Lasers, LCD Display, and a Photocopier. It has been placed in nightclubs, bars, and Techno Dance Parties.”

Auto Confessional 2 (video below) is a secular computerized networked icon employing an Apple Power Macintosh G3, CCTV camera and image analysis software.

Auto Confessional 3 (video below):

“is a network of 10 Apple Mac computers that search the internet for online confessions, and sings them as a canon using the Apple text-to-speech software MacInTalk 3.”
