A Performative Lecture by Kirill Savchenkov
As the boundaries between physical and digital space become harder to determine, the mutual influence of politics and ethics in these spaces becomes more obvious. In this context, algorithms and emotions are not only politicized but weaponized. The perception of sound becomes an integral part of navigation and interaction with digital environments and toxic content, transforming the nature of affect.
During the webinar, participants will discuss the sonic experiences of a witness in the video game PUBG, the roles of remote viewing, proxy action, and authentication, and ways of understanding remote closeness in the era of digital media.
