DESCRIPTION
The book digs deeper into the Sonic Acts Festival 2017. It explores what it means to be human, to be part of a world that is an ever-changing network and invites us to speculate about the strange and anxious state of being. Among the contributions, Jennifer Gabrys is interviewed about sensor technologies, Louis Henderson presents his cinematic practice, which focuses on the critical reading of colonial histories, and Ytasha Womack discusses how Afrofuturism facilitates different ways of navigating the world. Neworked algorithms, big data, and habituation on the internet are the focus of a conversation with Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Eyal Weizman vigorously explains the political interventions of Forensic Architecture, and Jamon Van Den Hoek examines how satellite images provide and create accounts of geopolitical conflicts.
