#Workshop 1: Say it ain’t so
|
||
|
||
##By Amy Pickles and Cristina Cochior
|
||
|
||
Say it ain’t so is a sound to voice to speech making, recording, arranging, and announcing workshop.
|
||
|
||
The workshop will be split into three distinct parts:
|
||
|
||
The production and bundling of sounds from non-digital sources through group work and individual recording. We will produce work in our throats and transmit it with our mouths.
|
||
We will make use of speech to text software to move voice to speech, and incorporate the errors that emerge during the transformation.
|
||
With the basic computer text processing technique called Bag of Words, we will create new orders looking at frequencies of – what the algorithm perceives to be! – words. We will think through dialogues and sounds that do not make it into writing.
|
||
|
||
The day will culminate in presentations of our Bags, new forms we make in groups of the debris from our workshop. How can we disrupt the algorithmic tracking of our voices and language?
|
||
|
||
Materials and requirements: A recording device such as a phone and/or laptop. Headphones to listen to recordings on your phone and/or laptop.

**Amy Pickles (UK)** is learning how to dismantle and assemble an artistic subjectivity through the search for queer pedagogical methods. Educational and artistic processes collapse into each other and feed each other to make a research-based performative practice, comprised of sound and video works, workshops, performances and textiles.

**Cristina Cochior (RO)** has an interest in the politics of automation and peer to machine knowledge co-production; her practice consists of research investigations into algorithmic structures of organisation and the possibilities for intimacy therein. As part of this pursuit, she currently engages with tactics of representation in digital collections. |
