AMBIENT ALGORHYTHMS 2020-2021
During the 2020-2021 academic year, the Institute for Digital Arts & Humanities will investigate the theme Ambient Algorhythms in the Arts and Humanities. We'll focus on themes such as algorithms of pervasive surveillance, permutations of ambient music, reverberations of sounds in our cities and homes, patterns of documenting injustices, and exponential ebbs and flows of a global pandemic.These points of intersection have urgent, often paradoxical implications in our everyday lives. By looking to scholars and artists as they question and dissect emerging facets of this new digital age, we will explore how algorhythms can be defined and applied in the arts and humanities and how these ambient forces can shape our collective experience.
