Mark Andrejevic (Machine Listening)

Mark Andrejevic’s recent book Automated Media considers the politics of automation through the “cascading logics” of pre-emption, operationalism, and “framelessness”. Together with artist Sean Dockray, legal scholar James Parker, and curator Joel Stern, Mark talks through some of these ideas, along with the limits of “surveillance capitalism” as an analytic frame, “touchlessness” in the time of Covid, “operational listening”, what automation is doing to subjectivity… and how all this relates to reality TV. https://machinelistening.exposed/curriculum/ Financial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
