Vladan Joler (Machine Listening)

Vladan Joler takes artist Sean Dockray, legal scholar James Parker, and curator Joel Stern through Anatomy of an AI System, his 2018 work with Kate Crawford, which diagrams the Amazon Echo as an anatomical map of human labor, data and planetary resources. They talk about the politics of visibility and method as well as Vladan’s work with Share Lab, “where indie data punk meets media theory pop to investigate digital rights blues." https://machinelistening.exposed/curriculum/ Financial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.
