LingorGräf - #000 COMPUTER-MEDIATED OCCULTATION

interactive data sonification/installation, Liebig12 Gallery Berlin 2014

#000 COMPUTER-MEDIATED OCCULTATION starts in the black void.

Will it be possible to catch the numbers’ anima and unleash the ghost in the machine?

The “Corpus of Contemporary American English” from Brigham University, a database of around 450 million words was used for this installation to extract a list of superspecialized words and sonify their attributes (their frequency of appearance in categorized media, its spread and dispersion across different scientific fields etc.).

#000 – the hexadecimal code of the color black – also ponders the implications of hermetic expertise (the “self- gene-rated darkness of the sciences” as sociologist Niklas Luhmann put it), just as a religious belief in the power of nume-rical truth and statistics. The composite word “computer-mediated occultation” is a true foundry – resulting from a certain way to sort the word list.
This piece was developed in cooperation with Jenny Graf Sheppard. While Hylynyiv realized the sonification of the database, Jenny Graf Sheppard contributed the visual translation.
