Statement

My work explores contemporary notions of the Other shown by sound and technology. I am interested in the cultural and political dimensions of algorithms, media and computing, as well as their artistic potential, i.e. both the aesthetic possibilities created by technology and their wider context. Recently, in my work, I have been researching the mediation of technologies and power structures that strengthen - e.g. the capacity for racial prejudice in facial recognition technology, the implications of deep learning and directional sound - while exploring their artistic use.

Other papers investigate the effects of decay and urban regeneration in Central Europe and East Asia. For example - the theme of JUST BE CREATIVE is the renewal and rebranding of the post-industrial city of Łódź. In order to satirically present the "Łódź creates" campaign, aimed at attracting and developing creative industries, a musical identification was used with the participation of local residents.

The theme of the ongoing project is the use of ideograms or onomatopoeias for silent phenomena - such as what things look like, what makes an impression - in Japanese and Korean. As they are sometimes untranslatable, they can be taken as examples of sounds contributing to the general notion of East Asian Otherness. It also works in a symbolic realm that is not entirely based on conventional semantics. The centuries-old practice of making the inaudible is a good stimulus for reflection on sound and its presence beyond language and pure symbolism.
