Can we think about the future without addressing matters of care left behind by acts of dehumanization and dehitoricization? How do we build ground-up counterpolitics against the institutional infrastructures of control made possible by automated systems under the guise of \u00bbhumanitarian care?\u00ab If, following Puig de Bellacasa, to think of matters of care is to remain in the space of coping, of dissenting, and of challenging the relationality of our affective constructions, then to think matters of care is to think the material conditions that allow care to be practiced, and how \u203acare\u2039 can become a dehumanizing and dehistoricizing technology. As Gloria Anzald\u00faa reminds us, it is necessary to look at \u00bbthe roads that led us here\u00ab before pointing our eyes and ears forward.<\/em>\r\n\r\nMy proposal for the residency starts from the deployment of accent recognition software in asylum procedures, and challenges narratives of care around it. In seeing the training datasets of these systems as a rudimentary form of an archive, I draw on Saidiya Hartman\u2019s \u00bbcritical fabulation\u00ab \u2013 i. e. assessing gaps in the archive as points of intervention without speaking over them \u2013 to work with the timbral matter around the concept of \u00bbnoise,\u00ab that is, speech traits these systems are trained to ignore.\r\n\r\n<em>With that I want to challenge the concept of \u00bbcare\u00ab as connected to \u00bbhumanitarian responses\u00ab to mass migration, all the while repurposing the dataset as a counter-action for new affective connections. The expected result is a sound-centred, binaural\/ambisonic navigation, \u00bbzooming in\u00ab on textures of vocal timbre as a technology of care; a strategy to not turn the voices in the archive into, to borrow from Liisa Malkki, \u00bbspeechless emissaries.\u00ab<\/em>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_cta","acfe_flexible_layout_title":"Link \/ Call-to-Action","bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"cta_link":{"type":"url","value":"http:\/\/meaninglesstexture.schloss-post.com\/","title":"","target":"0"},"cta_txt":"Sound essay by Pedro Oliveira","cta_button_txt":"Visit the Project"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_teaser","acfe_flexible_layout_title":"Teaser","teaser_elements":[{"teaser_bgcolor":"has-bg-yellow","teaser_outline":false,"teaser_border":[],"teaser_type":"teaser_post","teaser_preview":["preview_txt","preview_img"],"teaser_preview_img_style":"teaser_preview_img_right","teaser_obj_type":"teaser_post","teaser_obj_el":11483,"teaser_taxonomy_el":null,"teaser_headline":"","teaser_person_current":false,"teaser_person_current_juror":false,"teaser_person_current_employee":false,"post_taxonomies_person_type":[],"post_taxonomies_program":[],"post_taxonomies_year_generation":[],"post_taxonomies_practice_field":[],"teaser_btntxt":"READ THE INTERVIEW"}]}],"intro_preview_headline":"Pedro Oliveira \/ Berlin, Germany","intro_preview_txt":"","intro_preview_img":11588,"post_id_old":"35277","post_author":"","post_subtitle":"Pedro Oliveira \/ Berlin, Germany","post_preview_img_hide_on_single":false,"post_txt_old":"","post_pdf":null,"post_copyright":"ccl_default","translated_post":false,"translations":null,"post_copyright_individual":"","post_related_posts":[11483,11597,11565],"related_posts_post":[9447]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11587\/revisions"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/person\/9447"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11565"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11597"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11483"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=11587"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=11587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
