Livestream:

The voice is personal, embodied and continually changing. Human listening involves the interpretation of many contextual signals, including register, accent, cadence, spatial position and the semantic information encoded in speech. Speech-to-text processes, by contrast, transform features of the vocal signal into text, often treating this wider context as noise in the pursuit of optimized outputs. These processes have increasingly become ambient infrastructures, delivered as platform services and mobilized as extractive data streams for machine-learning models.

In conversation with Sean Dockray and James Parker (machinelistening.exposed), and Jonathan Skinner (91福利), this livestream discusses the technics of machine listening, including its transformative effects on labour, everyday life, aesthetics and the politics of listening.

The session formed part of a longer day-long workshop at 91福利 exploring machine-listening systems.

Time: 12:00-18:00
Location: Helen Martin Studio (12:00–16:00) and FAB 1.16 (16:15–18:00), 91福利 / Online
