An excerpt of a concert held in Langeac, May 2022. The concert took place  during my stay in the art residency called La Lucarne, that is located in the same village.

This improvised concert is part of the series Modulating spaces, where I get inspired by the surroundings of the concert place and record the enviroment and combine the recordings with modular synthesiser. In Langeac I got inspired by the river Allier which flows through the city. I printed the map and used it as a notation during the concert.

SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL 2019 – HEREAFTER
Flavia Dzodan – The Coloniality of the Algorithm
23 February – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

With an introduction by Juha van 't Zelfde.

The topic of Flavia Dzodan’s talk is the coloniality of the algorithm or how contemporary technologies became a tool of racial, gender and class exclusions that can be traced back to the foundational moment of modern capitalism in the eighteenth century. The databases that feed algorithms of both corporations and the surveillance state operate through the logic of resource extractives to classify us as voters, consumers, friends, foes, love interests, sex partners, suspects, criminals or potential perpetrators. Each of the steps that leads to these classifications has been informed by centuries old ideologies converging to assign us a role, a place in the database. These taxonomies, or systems of classification, have been in use since colonial times and cannot be detached from a history of racial, gender, sexual or class hierarchies.

Flavia Dzodan is an Amsterdam-based writer, media analyst and cultural critic. She is a lecturer and research fellow at the Critical Studies Department at Sandberg Institute. Her research is focused on the politics of Artificial Intelligence and algorithms at the intersections of (neo)colonialism, race and gender. She is the editor of the blog This Political Woman, where she has written about the rise of the alt-right, Big Data, networks, algorithms and community surveillance. She has been published at Dissent Magazine, The Guardian and The Washington Post, among others.

LAL-98 - Viktor Toikkanen: Nasci (C43)

Viktor Toikkanen has been acquinted with the Helsinki electronic music scene for the past decade both as a musician and as an event organizer. Recently Toikkanen has been extending his music production into the field of live-coding and algorave. His approach to forming sound is close to crafting ceramics. For Viktor, sound is like clay which you shape into more complex forms. There is no beginning or end. Music is always playing. It is just about the space and time where you step in and out. Nasci documents one of his 2019 live sets from Inner Spaces, Milano. It’s a beautiful mix of celestial spacious soundscapes pulses that echo from synthetic kraut and early electronics.

These are indeed, considered "normal circumstances" surrounding the mystery machine. It's loud, you've been warned. Whoever is squatting in the machine is definitely not paying any rent.

The Margaret Killjoy Interview

Langdon and Eden tackle Becky Chambers' Hugo-nominated novella TO BE TAUGHT, IF FORTUNATE, a work which grapples with the holocratic and highly mediated communal/social side of science. Meanwhile, on the first half, they discuss two radically different images of the teenager: the Kenosha shooter and the girl who made a smart-than-she-got-credit TikTok about the philosophy of math. TRIGGER WARNING: suicide (0h21m - 0h22m). FEATURED MUSIC: Motorpsycho - "The All Is One", Ulver - "A Thousand Cuts"

Becky Chambers - To Be Taught, If Fortunate

On our newest Death Sentence Solo Series, Eden discusses Jeff Noon's series The Nyquist Mysteries. Jeff Noon is a remarkable figure in the field, sitting somewhere between Philip K Dick and Paul Auster; following that analogy, this series functions almost like Noon's own version of what The New York Trilogy by Auster might look like in the hands of a cerebral but still richly pulpy genre writer. FEATURED MUSIC: Xythlia - "Ablation of Subconscious"
