In public conversations today, encryption—or the process of encoding information—is often described in vigilant terms, namely, how to secure data and therefore minimise threats to the smooth functioning of digital communication and infrastructures. But how might encryption be deployed creatively to construct new kinds of relationships between humans and machines? With reference to recent projects, bani will address the ways in which concepts of secrecy, intimacy, and trust across linguistic and computational idioms could be turned towards the imagination of new social forms. The talk will be followed by a conversation with exhibition co-curator Chanon Kenji Praepipatmongkol, and a live Q&A with the audience.
