Made With Models illustration of a ring of empty microphones in a resonant concrete hall, waves of choral light rippling outward from the circle, fifteen small lamps glowing along the walls; this is not a photo of the installation.

Fifteen choirs, one model, and the voices that trained it

Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst wrote a training songbook, recorded 15 professional and community choirs across the UK, and built bespoke polyphonic models that visitors can sing into. The Serpentine installation makes the whole system — source choirs, training protocol and data governance — audible and visible.
