Turbulence Spotlight: "Voice Mosaic" by Martha Carrer Cruz Gabriel
http://turbulence.org/spotlight/voicemosaic/index.htm


"Voice Mosaic" is a web-art application that converges speech and image,
building a visual mosaic on the web with the chosen colors and recorded
voices of people who interact with it from any place around the globe.
The voice interface, developed with open-standards in speech synthesis
and voice recognition technologies, works through phone calls from any
telephone.
