AAI

By Mouse on Mars & Louis Chude-Sokei

Virtual Audiovisual Installation, 2021 »AAI« – Anarchic Artificial Intelligence – is a sonic meta narrative about an artificial intelligence growing, learning, and speaking. Released as an album on Thrill Jockey in 2021, for Cyberia the work is reimagined in an installation format. Working with AI tech collective Birds on Mars and former SoundCloud programmers Ranny Keddo and Derrek Kindle, Mouse on Mars create and implement software capable of modelling speech. Original text and voice narration from researcher Louis Chude-Sokei and DJ/producer Yağmur Uçkunkaya is used to train the software, which Mouse on Mars can also control and play as they would a synthesizer. Mouse on Mars is one of Germany’s few experimental pop acts to have stirred wide international attention and acclaim. Louis Chude-Sokei is an English professor at Boston University and the director of its African American Studies Program. His work focuses on race, immigration and cultural conflicts and exchanges.
