Interspecies communication and extractivist listening

Talk by Yuri Tuma (Madrid, ES).

Abstract

To truly engage in interspecies communication, we must begin by dismantling, as much as possible, the human/ animal binary. An anthropocentric approach to this type of exchange inherently creates questionable hierarchies. Field recording and the use of artificial intelligence can help us explore how listening technologies intersect with issues of sonic extraction, unpaid labour, colonial practices, privacy, cultural appropriation, and the emergence of new forms of scientific care.
