Francesco Bentivegna
Francesco Bentivegna (they/them) is a researcher and practitioner interested in voice, artificial voice, voice training, post-humanism, techno-feminism and contemporary politics. They are currently finishing their Ph.D. at the University of Exeter working on a project analysing the Posthuman Condition through voice, looking at the differences between synthetic voices and human voices in performance practices. Starting from the concepts of making kin and intra-action as conceived by Haraway and Barad, Bentivegna explores possible reiteration of biases in technological models. Rooted in feminism and post-humanism, such research aims to discover unusual practical ways of relating to machines through voice.
