Previous generations of audio-technology transmitted, recorded or manipulated sound. Today our digital voice assistants, smart speakers and a growing range of related technologies are increasingly able to analyse and respond to it as well. Scientists and engineers increasingly refer to this as “machine listening”, though the first widespread use of the term was in computer music. Machine listening is much more than just a new scientific discipline or vein of technical innovation however. It is also an emergent field of knowledge-power, of data extraction and colonialism, of capital accumulation, automation and control. It demands critical and artistic attention. +MACHINE LISTENING is a new investigation and experiment in collective learning, instigated by artist [Sean Dockray](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/sean-dockray), legal scholar [James Parker](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/james-parker), and curator [Joel Stern](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/joel-stern) for [Liquid Architecture](http://liquidarchitecture.org.au/ "Liquid Architecture") and launched at [Unsound 2020: Intermission](https://www.unsound.pl/en/intermission "Unsound") + ## Contributors Angie Abdilla (Old Ways New), Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Alex Ahmed, Mark Andrejevic, Andrew Brooks, DeForrest Brown Jr. (Speaker Music), Kate Crawford (AI Now), André Dao, Debris Facility, Jenny Kennedy, Vladan Joler, Karolina Iwańska (Panoptykon Foundation), Jules LaPlace, Halcyon Lawrence, Jùnchéng Billy Lì, Stefan Maier, Shannon Mattern, Lauren McCarthy, Jazz Money, Kathy Reid, Joel Spring, Tom Smith, Yolande Stengers, Hito Steyerl, Jennifer Walshe and more TBC. -MACHINE LISTENING is a new investigation and experiment in collective learning, instigated by artist [Sean Dockray](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/sean-dockray), legal scholar [James Parker](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/james-parker), and curator [Joel Stern](https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/artists/joel-stern) for [Liquid Architecture](http://liquidarchitecture.org.au/ "Liquid Architecture") and launched at [Unsound 2020: Intermission](https://www.unsound.pl/en/intermission "Unsound") - ## Schedule Across three days at the start of October, we will come together to investigate the implications of the coming world of listening machines in both its dystopian and utopian dimensions. Comprising a montage of presentations, performance, sound, video, music and experiments in listening contributors around the world, the online gatherings are divided into three sections, open to all:
