Algo-Rhythm

Convenience, not choice. Efficiency, not freedom. Frictionless experience: a data musical against automated propaganda. Shot with the participation of leading Senegalese musicians, poets and graffiti artists, ALGO-RHYTHM probes the insidious but comprehensive threats to human rights and agency posed by the rise of the quantification and algorithmic management of daily life. Situating her performers in a pixelized, exploded, virtual ghost image of Dakar, Manu Luksch creates a haunting and disruptive image of a world about to be replaced by a digital double.
