Bringing together two artists working across computation, sound, and artistic research, this conversation explores how alternative systems of knowledge—from indigenous mathematics to musical traditions—can reshape how technology is imagined beyond dominant narratives of innovation and progress.
In Conversation
- Ryuta Aoki
Tokyo-based artist working across art, science, and technology. His piece Alternative Computations uses a quantum computer to revive wasan, an indigenous Japanese mathematics abandoned for western calculation.
- elekhlekha อิเหละเขละขละ (Nitcha Fame Tothong & Kengchakaj)
A Thai diaspora, Brooklyn-based collaborative artist practice rooted in research that decodes contested histories and memories of Southeast Asia. Their body of work explores the region's political complexities, grounding algorithmic experimentation in ancestral knowledge and aural/oral history through live coding, participatory performance, audiovisual installation, communal digital archives, and Western instruments altered to echo Southeast Asian sounds.
