In Dullaart’s work, a female voice - perhaps human? perhaps machine? - recites the terms of service of Google’s various products. The famous search-box transforms into a mouth, and the texts that no one ever reads are delivered in a feminine soliloquy. Hi-Tech companies are well informed about research showing that female voices invoke more attention, empathy, and obedience than their male counterparts. Dullaart uses the same knowledge not to confuse and deceive, but rather to reveal the legal terms and conditions that control our lives while we use these sites.
