Voice
Record the thinking behind the work. Mira turns it into a permanent part of your archive.
The story behind the work, in your own words.
Images record what a work looks like. Voice records what it means.
The thinking that goes into a piece, the decision to use one material over another, the memory of when something changed, the context that gives the work its full significance, this rarely makes it into a catalogue record. It stays in the artist's head until it is lost.
The Voice archive is where it goes instead.
How it works.
Open a voice session in your StudioNXT account. Record whatever comes: a reflection on a piece you just finished, the thinking behind a series, a note you want to attach to a specific work. The recording does not need to be polished. The studio is a working environment, not a broadcast.
When you finish, Mira processes the audio. Within moments, the session appears in your archive as a structured document.
What Mira creates from your recording.
Transcript
A full written record of what was said, as you said it. The exact words, preserved in a searchable, readable form.
Summary
A concise account of the key points from the session. Useful when you want to retrieve the essence of a reflection without reading the full transcript.
Key statement
A single sentence drawn from your own words that captures the central idea of the session. The line that best represents what you were thinking at that moment.
Artist statement draft
Where the material supports it, Mira can develop the content of a voice session into a draft artist statement, written in your voice, ready for your review.
Curator note
A more formal interpretive note drawn from the recording, suitable for institutional or curatorial use.
Where it lives.
Voice sessions are stored in your archive alongside your artworks, documents, and other records. They can be linked to specific works so the thinking behind a piece lives in the same place as the piece itself.
The archive grows to include not just what you made but why you made it, in your own words, at the time you were making it.
Why it matters for legacy.
The greatest loss when an artist is no longer there to speak for themselves is not the work. The work remains. What is lost is the voice. The context. The intention. The answer to why this and not that.
Voice sessions are the part of the archive that holds what no image can. They are the record future caretakers, scholars, and institutions will be grateful to have. And they are the part most likely to be lost if they are not captured while it is still possible.
