Giving Machines a Voice: Artist Martin Riches Creates Art That Talks.

Interview on Motherboard with Martin Riches.

Martin Riches is an English artist with a penchant for sound. Driven by 
the fascination of how artificial life differs from the real thing, many 
of the objects which Riches has made are pre-digital masterpieces. From 
an aerial kite camera which overlooked the Berlin Wall—Riches has been 
in the city since the late 60s—to machines chatting on the radio and 
singing Latin hymns in church, his work personifies the intersection of 
where analogue meets digital. One of his more recent projects, 
StringThing, features two acoustic string instruments plucked with 
digitally-controlled fingers.
