The Great Dictator: A participatory AI installation about power, rhetoric, and memory

Historical speeches that shaped our world—MLK, JFK, Emma Goldman, Mandela—remain frozen in grainy footage and fading photographs. They're housed away, rarely seen, difficult to relate to. But what if AI could help us embody history rather than just observe it? What if you could stand where they stood, speak their words, and feel the weight of that moment? This installation makes history personal, visceral, and urgent. It transforms archives from artifacts into living experiences.
