In this episode of Netzrauschen Andreas interviews Budhaditya Chattopadhyay another digital fellow of this years paradigm shifts program. In his artistic research he addresses the concern about an unfair social divide upheld in contemporary sound studies and media art history, as well as in the curating and showcasing of sound and media art. This divide is practiced often by a lack of critical engagement with the artists from South Asia, Middle-East, and Africa – broadly known as parts of the Global South, and through ignoring, under-representation, under-referencing, pigeonholing, or appropriation of the “non-Western” scholarly perspectives in a globally canonizing body of work in the field.
