What if AI started running global migration? Quantum Echo Chamber: Sonic Residues of Algorithmic Migration by Alex Baptiste


Listen Later

A sonic exploration of displaced identities within a globally coordinated AI migration system, weaving legal algorithms and cultural echoes into a thought-provoking soundscape.

In a future where AI governs migration, how are individual identities preserved? The Quantum Echo Chamber translates the cold logic of legal algorithms into a visceral soundscape. Experience the echoes of displaced narratives, woven from the very precedents shaping their destinies. This design probes the tension between efficient systems and the human experience within them.

2028: The Global Migration Management Platform governs human movement. AI evaluates asylum claims, optimizing resource allocation and controlling population flow. While efficient, the system struggles to accommodate nuanced cultural narratives. In Saint Vincent, echoes of displaced identities circulate as whispered stories and fragmented musical traditions, seeking expression beyond algorithmic confines.

This project invites reflection on the increasingly automated systems governing human lives. Consider the potential erosion of individual agency within efficient structures. Are we sacrificing human connection for optimized processes? The Quantum Echo Chamber asks us to listen to the whispers of those lost in the noise of algorithmic progress.
