Summary

The Kiosk exhibit at MoMA PS1 in New York City utilizes text-to-speech (TTS) technology to guide visitors through an audio tour of the exhibit, which celebrates the story behind everyday objects. The TTS robot is built using Twilio's capacities and NodeJS, providing a cost-effective solution for creating 1,300 different clips of two-minute audio recordings. The installation aims to highlight the humanity in everyday objects by juxtaposing technology with art, offering visitors a brief respite from the constant competition for their attention in urban environments. By leveraging TTS technology, Kiosk provides an intuitive and accessible experience for museum-goers, allowing them to engage with the exhibit without the need for additional hardware or apps.
