AI Anarchies 2022
Vita

Currently, he is a research and arts fellow at the Leuphana Institute for Advanced Studies (LIAS). He holds a PhD from the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK).
Residency
During the residency I will develop a long-form, multichannel sound installation exploring the idea of "spectralization" of the (migrant) voice. The main driving force of this work is a lo-fi, analogue "reverse engineering" of the so-called "dialect recognition software" in use by the German migration authorities since 2017 for cases of undocumented asylum seekers. A publication will juxtapose the sound piece with added layers of both clarification and complication.
