With the rise of artificial intelligence, a new frontier emerges in human cognition and experience. Concepts such as consciousness and creativity are constantly redefined by algorithms and code performances. Extraction, manipulation, and radicalization are some of the intensified side effects of applying computational techniques to traditional media. Can adopting radical transparency, decentralization, and the inclusion of non-human perspectives help us steer this new media toward becoming a productive force of sustainability and regeneration?
One of the central topics of this episode is the concept of deep fakes, an emergent technology with profound societal implications. The episode further delves into its intricacies through a podcast hosted by Marta Peirano, a journalist specializing in technology and power, who is joined by researcher specializing in deep fakes Henry Ajder and human rights advocate and technologist Sam Gregory. Together, they offer invaluable perspectives on the opportunities and challenges posed by synthetic media.

Permafrost Hydrofeminism | Astrida Neimanis and Nikita Tananaev
Cultural theorist, Astrida Neimanis’ theory of Hydrofeminism, positions water as an ever-shifting body that connects all beings and archives all histories. Unlike other bodies of water however, the permafrost wishes to remain still. Astrida Neimanis speaks with permafrost hydrologist, Nikita Tananaev to discuss the cultural, philosophical, and ecological implications of permafrost degradation as it disrupts ancient ecosystems suspended in the ice.
This podcast was first released by RW MACBA, before the UK sanctions of the Dissolving Earths program were lifted.
The soundscape and sound-editing is by Either/Or Productions.
