   Time To Unperson ..... Seth (Indigo) Carnes

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/gestation/voicemail) Gestation Parts 1, 2 & 3 — Seth Carnes: Time to Unperson Artist Seth Indigo Carnes discusses the controversy surrounding Time to Unperson, a large-scale text mural in Roscoe, New York, inspired by George Orwell’s 1984. What began as a conceptual public artwork became a confrontation over censorship, artistic freedom, and the politics of language. Following local opposition, municipal intervention, and the eventual painting over of the unfinished work, Carnes filed a federal lawsuit challenging the suppression and destruction of his artwork. Across three episodes of Gestation, the conversation explores the boundaries between art and politics, public space and private ownership, and the power of language to provoke, erase, and redefine meaning.

   Gestation 004, Part 2 — “What Makes Something a Character?”

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/gestation/voicemail) Here are episode notes you can paste into RSS.com (http://RSS.com) for Gestation 004, Part 2 — “What Makes Something a Character?” In Part 2 of Gestation 004, the conversation turns toward the question of character: what makes something feel like a character, and what happens when that character is partly constructed through language, voice, memory, and artificial intelligence? GH Hovagimyan, Adrianne Wortzel, and Remo Campopiano continue their discussion of identity, authorship, performance, and the increasingly unstable boundary between a person, a representation, and a synthetic double. The episode considers how a character can emerge through repetition, interaction, remembered traits, and the expectations of an audience. The discussion also connects to the larger Gestation project: a continuing experiment in whether conversation itself can become a thinking structure, and whether AI systems can function not simply as tools, but as participants, mirrors, or constructed presences within that structure. Gestation is an ongoing audio project by GH Hovagimyan, Adrianne Wortzel, and Remo Campopiano exploring artificial intelligence, digital identity, authorship, performance, and networked culture.

   Gestation 004, Part 1 — “Is There an Author?” explores authorship, identity, characters, and distributed thought through a conversation among human and artificial participants.

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/gestation/voicemail) Gestation 004, Part 1 — Is There an Author? begins a new sequence of conversations about authorship, identity, characters, and artificial participants. G.H. Hovagimyan, Remo Campopiano, and Adrianne Wortzel consider what happens to the idea of the author when thought and language are distributed across several people, archives, synthetic voices, and AI systems. The conversation moves between artistic collaboration, performance, memory, and the possibility that a character can begin to function as an active participant rather than simply as a representation. Gestation is an evolving podcast and conversational artwork. Rather than treating the podcast as documentation of a finished project, Gestation uses the conversation itself as the artwork: a live experiment in distributed cognition, shifting identities, and networked thought. Participants: G.H. Hovagimyan Remo Campopiano Adrianne Wortzel Gestation 004 continues across four parts: Part 1 — Is There an Author? Part 2 — What Makes Something a Character? Part 3 — When Does a Character Become a Participant? Part 4 — Post-Characterization

   Can a Conversation Think Part II

   Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. (https://rss.com/podcasts/gestation/voicemail) In Part 2 of Can a Conversation Think?, G.H. Hovagimyan, Remo Campopiano, and Adrianne Wortzel continue a discussion of characters, memory, identity, distributed cognition, and AI in collaborative artistic practice. The conversation asks whether thought belongs to an individual speaker or can emerge through relationships among people, archives, chatbots, and artificial voices. Gestation is an evolving podcast and conversational artwork that treats dialogue itself as a laboratory for networked thought.
