Dj youtube algorithm live from the youtube w/ audio visual piece 'rift' by @vingelklang
"rift is an audio-visual installation predicting the future of COVID-19. The artwork generates a constantly changing chord from the predictions of four scientifically developed models for future COVID-19 infections. essentially, the predictions’ divergence is making the music.
both interpretation of historical data and mathematical modelling of future infection rates greatly influence the decisions our society makes in response. the models we are employing in this artwork are in use by governments and organizations around the world.
by bringing them together as an ensemble, making their often wildly different predictions sing, we hope to underline the ambiguity of such modelling, and the inherent weaknesses in a purely data-driven approach to the messy, unruly business of human social life.
the installation will be playing until the pandemic retreats and the four tones consequentially"
