How do we learn to speak to the non-human world? Anglo-Western paradigms tell us that there is a sharp divide between human and 'nature,' and that technology is what divides the human from the animal - or from plants, the landscape itself, and the world of gods and spirits. But all these assumptions can be turned against themselves: finding a way into Country, and finding kinship and speaking with all that is non-human, through digital recording, virtual archives, and AI learning. @salllvage (Rowan Savage) muses on performance practice across field recordings, vocal sonic transformations, reviving Aboriginal language, and deep listening, to present one path into postcolonial language practice beyond anthropocentrism.
