On the occasion of the 15th edition of Tactics&Practice (un)real data – real effects, which explores how the ambiguous quality of data can be used as a tool to produce real-world outcomes, we invited journalist and researcher Neja Berger to conduct a new podcast series.
Tactics&Practice [podcast]: (un)real data
Digital technology and data-driven systems are reshaping our sense of self, social reality and creative expression. Through conversations with theorists and artists, this podcast series unravels the ambiguities, biases and dehumanising effects embedded within algorithms, predictive models and AI-generated content that now mediate our lives. From the quantified self to the algorithmic reproduction of a deepfake past, our guests offer critical perspectives on how we can understand (and learn to resist) the flattening of human experience and perhaps reclaim more authentic, liminal spaces of creativity and social connection.
