ZK/U FELLOW INTRODUCTION // PEDRO OLIVEIRA // JUL 01 - DEC 31 2022 Pedro Oliveiras research advances a decolonizing, material inquiry of (machine) listening in articulations of border violence, and is expressed through both artistic and academic work such as sound performances, audio essays, multi-channel installations, and writing. During his residency, Pedro will develop a long-form, multichannel sound installation exploring the idea of "spectralization" of the (migrant) voice. The main driving force of this work is a lo-fi, analogue "reverse engineering" of the so-called "dialect recognition software" in use by the German migration authorities since 2017 for cases of undocumented asylum seekers. A publication will juxtapose the sound piece with added layers of both clarification and complication. This residency is funded in collaboration with Junge Akademie der Künste Berlin under the program “AI Anarchies”. ///⠀ ⠀ © Elisa Georgi, 2022 #ZKUBerlin #residency #residents #berlinresidency #artresidency #research #artresidency
