Pedro Oliveira — On the Spectral As A Domain of (Sonic) Decolonizing Thought

How can an attention to the spectral materiality of voice create decolonizing forms of sonic thought? Drawing from my recent artistic and scholarly work on the use of so-called «accent recognition systems» in the asylum process of Germany, and in dialogue with the ideas of Sylvia Wynter and Denise Ferreira da Silva, I would like to propose that an interrogation of machine listening might reveal forking paths with which to understand how sound, voice, and language complicate what it means to be «human». Pedro Oliveira is a Brazilian-born researcher, sound artist and educator whose work advances a decolonizing inquiry of listening and the materiality of sound. He is a PostDoctoral fellow at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies who holds a PhD from the Universität der Künste Berlin.
