To exist online in 10 years, you're going to have to give a random company a face scan and photo ID and they're going to give that and everything you post to the government to spy on you for being queer, left-wing, "a criminal," or whatever. None of your data or communications will be private. The government and corporations will go through all of it.

If you don't want that to happen, you should raise a stink about "age verification" right now because that's what they're actually building.

CHIME is a new data sonification residency that pairs sound artists and composers with data-driven researchers at the University of Glasgow. 📈 🎶

Three Scotland-based artists will be selected to create new sound pieces or approaches based on data sonification: the process of turning data into sound.

Applications are welcome from artists of all backgrounds, identities, career stages, and experiences.

Please spread the word! #DataSonification #Glasgow #Art #Science
