Reeps100 & Trung Bao, World Economic Forum

‘Messages of Hope’ Exhibition

Project / Davos, Switzerland / 2022

In early 2022, The World Economic Forum commissioned Harry Yeff (Reeps100) & Trung Bao to craft their largest tech-art exhibition to date, titled 'Messages of Hope.' This curated collection, featuring influential voices like Sadhguru, Rupi Kaur, and Dr. Jane Goodall, premiered at the Davos main Congress center. The exhibition explored the preservation of the most remarkable, influential voices, which encapsulated messages of love, hope, and legacy.



The VOICE GEMS project generates unique digital gemstones from voices. Each vocal recording is sent through the Voice Gems system of 200,000 particles, which are sculpted by assigned features such as volume, pitch and harmonics found in the data of each voice.

The Voice Gems system is the culmination of 10 years of theory and research and development by Reeps100 (R100 Studio) and Trung Bao (Fustic.Studio).

“The Human voice is one of the most powerful instruments we possess and represents one of nature’s greatest achievements. Today, with close to 8 billion voices worldwide and more than 7,000 identified languages spoken globally, never has it been more appropriate to celebrate the sheer breadth of the human voice. As we come together in Davos, for the first time in over two years, it’s important that all voices are given a platform to be heard.”
