Stelarc has constructed an automated, animated and intelligent artificial head that speaks to you as you interrogate it. The Prosthetic Head is a 3D avatar head that has real-time lip syncing, speech synthesis and facial expressions. The Prosthetic Head will also be able to acknowledge the presence and position of the physical body that approaches it. And eventually it will be able to analyse the user's tone of voice and facial expression. The Prosthetic Head will have the capability of expanding its data base from the conversations it will have, becoming increasingly autonomous in its responses. The artist will then no longer be able to take full responsibility for what his head says.
