In Listening in the Afterlife of Data, David Cecchetto theorizes
sound, communication, and data by analyzing them in the contexts of
the practical workings of specific technologies, situations, and
artworks. In a time he calls the afterlife of data-the cultural
context in which data's hegemony persists even in the absence of
any belief in its validity-Cecchetto shows how data is repositioned
as the latest in a long line of concepts that are at once
constitutive of communication and suggestive of its limits.
Cecchetto points to the failures and excesses of communication by
focusing on the power of listening-whether through wearable
technology, internet-based artwork, or the ways in which computers
process sound-to pragmatically comprehend the representational
excesses that data produces. Writing at a cultural moment in which
data has never been more ubiquitous or less convincing, Cecchetto
elucidates the paradoxes that are constitutive of computation and
communication more broadly, demonstrating that data is never quite
what it seems.
