During his residency, Pedro Oliveira has been exploring the seeds of what he calls “dubwise machine listening,” a methodological and gestural approach to thinking about computational systems and their uses in border and migration control technologies. His approach juxtaposes dub (as a material and compositional approach) and data (that which accumulates over time within a system) as a way to de-route machine listening aimed at classification and analysis, shifting it toward an emergent poetics. For this presentation, he would like to share his process and initial iterations of these ideas by performing with text, analog synthesis, and some effects as a way to test them out with an audience.
