DSI Lecture Series | Digital Attunement and (Other) Hauntologies: Tiara Roxanne in Conversation with Rebecca Uliasz
The use of digital technologies and platformitization have become a more normalized way of connecting which shapes our relations and ultimately, how we intimise. Where we might mutually recognize a shared togetherness within the digital sphere, we might also discover a feeling of togetherness, alienation, horror or even seduction. I ask questions of how digital intimacy fabricates how our bodies move toward one another, gather or isolate? We are intimate with the algorithms, social media platforms and digital infrastructures embedded within the technological which intensify feelings of horror. Is the horror we see and feel via the algorithm and what we share, a new form of attunement and intimacy, is it a new body memory?Tiara Roxanne is a Purhépecha (descendant) Mestiza scholar and artist based in Berlin. Dr. Roxanne’s work is dedicated to rethinking the ethics of AI through an anti-colonial and cyberfeminist lens. They are currently developing their terminology, digital attunement and the technological haunt further, which expands theory and critique regarding body memory and hauntology within socio-technical frameworks. In the recent past, they developed protocols of trust and safety online with Indigenous communities based in Central and South America. As a performance artist and practitioner, they work between the digital and the material using textile, from the space of the body as a site of refusal.
