Eva Schloss’s story of surviving the Holocaust has now been preserved through an interactive exhibition.

The recordings were used to develop an artificial Eva Schloss, housed inside a screen. Click’s Lauren Hutchinson’s report includes an interview with Eva Schloss. Researchers are exploring the ways in which smart speakers can be used to enable new and interesting means of creating and enjoying music. At Music Hackspace in London they are exploring the new possibilities with musicians and sound artists. Click hears from Henry Cooke, one of the researchers.
