Abstract

crowds choruses composites is a multimodal artistic research project that interrogates cultural and social shifts brought on by two crises of knowledge that have come to define the last decade: the rise of ‘alternative facts’ that undermine and destabilise expertise, and the increasingly complex AI systems for which datasets stand in as knowledge.

The project focuses on the literal and metaphorical ways voices (and people) come together: in crowds of political protest, in the choruses of historical and contemporary performance and in the composites of machine generated deepfakes and voice clones. crowds choruses composites draws on these different modes of multivocality - and their representations - to chart the entangled contradictions that connect public assemblies to art and theatre histories and deepfakes. It does so through a critical consideration of contemporary media and art histories, as well as through a programme of artistic research that both uses and intervenes in new machine learning processes, the cultural imaginaries that attend to them, and the news cycles they feed.
