What we might have heard in the future. is a science fiction-based radio drama that investigates history in the future tense. The live broadcast performance considers the future's implementation of voice recognition technologies and questions the particular use of behavioral biometrics as authentication and validation of one's subjectivity. Such narrow parameters bring into question structures of power as processes of inclusion and exclusion in regard to representation and the voice.
