Deep Poison
Research drawings, sound installation with five audio sequences, total length 10:21 min., 2018
Bots, programs rapidly performing repetitive activities, trawl through vast pools of data to feed their “deep learning,” aiming to act indistinctly from humans. In the form of computational propaganda, algorithms, and automation, bots are ubiquitous as spoilers in political campaigns and elections.
Based on hand-drawn scores, this sound installation explores the 2018 UK Parliamentary hearing of former Cambridge Analytica research leader Christopher Wylie. Through modifying the tonal qualities of the archival videos and enhancing their latent science-fiction elements, the work reinforces the subtext of factual reports – which seems to have emerged from the unhinged world of a James Bond film.
