In recent work she has produced an instrument for anyone to sing with her voice, distributed governance of her digital voice to the Holly+DAO, and released the Classified portrait series generated from what public available AI datasets know about her likeness. She has toured her influential musical albums PROTO (4AD) and Platform (4AD) globally, most recently with a choir composed of human and AI voices.
