Resumo

Esta entrevista explora a agência incorporada e as dinâmicas em evolução da criação de conhecimento através do envolvimento prático e experimental com sistemas de inteligência artificial (IA) conversacional. Com base na arqueologia dos média, na teoria dos média e nos estudos de ciência e tecnologia, examina-se de que forma o surgimento de interfaces linguísticas desestabiliza as distinções entre utilizador e sistema, colapsando as fronteiras entre modos humanos e artificiais de expressão e compreensão. Enquadrado numa metodologia de investigação artística, o projeto envolve-se criticamente com a transição em curso para formas de inquirição mediadas por máquinas e tecnologias vocais, analisando de que modo essas tecnologias reconfiguram as condições epistémicas, linguísticas e ontológicas do conhecimento e da investigação. Ao afastar-se da interação mediada por teclado, o processo enfatiza o desligamento do corpo da interface máquina e a crescente fluidez da correspondência entre humano e computador através da tecnologia vocal. Reconhecendo a crescente incerteza quanto à origem e autonomia decorrentes desta transformação tecnológica, a investigação destaca a autoria indeterminada tanto como desafio metodológico como eixo teórico, sublinhando as implicações para a responsabilidade académica e a ética dos dados. A experimentação prática é utilizada como ferramenta para rastrear os vetores infraestruturais, afetivos e retóricos através dos quais o discurso automatizado inteligente influencia a produção de conhecimento. Ao examinar este processo, o estudo contribui para os debates em curso sobre verificação, confiança e negociação social da informação induzidos por agentes avançados de IA conversacional. Em termos gerais, o artigo sustenta que as tecnologias vocais não se limitam a transmitir conteúdo, mas configuram ativamente as condições sob as quais o conhecimento é produzido, autenticado e circulado.

Biografia Autor

Moana Ava Holenstein, Sound Studies and the Sonic Arts, Universität der Künste Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Moana Ava Holenstein é artista, designer de som e investigadora sediada em Berlim. Trabalha como assistente de investigação no Instituto Fraunhofer de Telecomunicações no departamento de Sistemas de Captura e Visualização desde 2021. A sua prática artística centra-se na imersão auditiva, explorando as relações entre tecnologia, identidade e efemeridade. O seu foco atual é a escuta tátil, integrando materiais brutos em interfaces experimentais para criar um diálogo sonoro entre vibrações recursivas e o corpo. A partir destas interações, emergem interfaces e paisagens sonoras complexas, conectando narrativas pessoais e reflexões sobre as intersecções dos domínios digital e orgânico.
