The book is a result of an in depth research and collaboration with Susan Bennett, the original Siri voice actress, and the series of interviews that Inès Kivimäki led with her. It contains the works included in the exhibition “Dummy” with Anna Wittenberg.
The book was released during a closing reception, together with the artists talk in a form of conversation with Julia Tcharfas @meksikou who composed a beautiful text accompanying the exhibition, available here.
