Angie Abdilla (Machine Listening)

Liquid Architecture

Angie Abdilla talks to artist Sean Dockray, legal scholar James Parker, and curator Joel Stern about Old Ways, New, the Indigenous owned and led social enterprise she founded, based on Gadigal land in Redfern, Sydney. We discuss Decolonising the Digital, Country Centered Design, a methodology which applies Indigenous design principles to the development of technologies for places, spaces and experiences, and how this contrasts with the ‘placelessness’ on which so many machine learning/listening systems are based. https://machinelistening.exposed/curriculum/ Financial support from patrons at any level has a resounding impact on our work.

LA investigates the sounds themselves, but also the ideas communicated about, and the meaning of, sound and listening.
