Voice Gems
R100 x Fustic.



VOICE GEMS : 1000 YEAR ARCHIVE is a generative system and voice archive designed & developed by R100 Studio & Fustic.Studio, lead by the two founders & award-winning artists and technologists Harry Yeff ( Reeps100 ) and Trung Bao. Two artists collecting Earth’s most unique, remarkable and most vulnerable voices for the 1000 Year VOICE GEMS ARCHIVE. The 200 000 particle system harnesses the fingerprint-like features found in the human voice to generate digital one of a kind gemstones and physical sculpture. The project activity collects new works and researches how such artefacts can utilise digital preservation for the next 1000 years.



The Archive also collects vocal phenomena, expanding to AI synthetic voices and the voices of critically endangered species, and institutional collaborations with The World Economic Forum Messages of Hope collection, Koenig Gallery, Francisco Carolinum Linz, Ben Mirin of National Geographic and The Berggruen Institute.

Harry Yeff and Trung Bao are two of the world's leading vocal experimentalists today, both utilising an almost inhuman vocal range. As artists they have collected hundreds of vocal techniques from around the world, which informs their knowledge and deep appreciation of the incredible nuance that VOICE GEMS capture.

Their voice-centred performance and artworks have generated a global following amassing over 100 000 000 views and global portfolio of arts and institutional partners. Exhibiting VOICE GEMS at Miami Art Basel 2022, Davos 2022, PROOF OF ART Francisco Carolinum in Linz.

VOICE GEMS create messages of hope and the largest collection of digital art to feature at WEF Davos 2022.

The Worlds first voice generated physical stones.

Utilising 3D print technologies and lab-grown voice generated forms. The very first VOICE GEM was created in 2018 from the laughter between two lovers and was used to replace a traditional diamond engagement ring. The project has begun producing collaborative VOICE GEMS collections, manifesting as large scale new-media, lab-grown physical pieces, installations, and sculptures. Notably Reeps100 and Trung Bao have produced rare pieces from recordings of loved ones who have passed on.

Voice Megastructures

These behemoth voice structures are generated from 100’s of collected voices colouring and sculpting every detail of the form. The sculptures can be generated from a curated set of global voices addressing a specific theme, or voice data sourced by a geolocation or local radius. Voice Gems will always be a project for large scale physical exhibition, using any means necessary to explore, preserve and illuminate the human voice.
