Abstract / Summary

The Speaking Machine is a practice-led research project conceived and developed by Falmouth University’s School of Communication in collaboration with and industry practitioners Harry Boyd and design studio TwoMuch. The project explores how communication design can structure digital participatory platforms for collaborative storytelling and distributed creative practice. It further explores how specific interface constraints—such as one-at-a-time contributions and limited narrative visibility—can generate new forms of narrative authorship. Initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, the project responds to the challenge of sustaining creative collaboration under conditions of spatial and social isolation. By repositioning design as a ‘structuring agent’ in narrative systems, the research contributes to debates around digital authorship, speculative publishing, and networked co-creation within communication design.
