- This event was part of the "Encoding Futures: Critical Imaginaries of AI" exhibition and took place on November 4, 2021 at OXY ARTS.
Mandy stars as host, expert pundit, celebrity feature, and musical guest in a late-night show made of critical theory dreams. In Mandy's World, it's not the most viral, whiter and lighter influencers and artists who represent and perform Black culture-- it's those who favor Black Culture's progenitors. Mandy martials an edu-taining blend of lecture, slideshow, performance, humor and music to deconstruct the 'gram--that is, both the gramophone and Insta, alike--to investigate the ways technology and algorithms dictate the rhythms we groove to. How are music sharing and social media platforms influencing and influenced by the decidedly un-hip legacy of racial capitalism? Who is winning? Who is wailing?
This lecture-performance draws on Williams’ popular #BrownUpYourFeed movement, which examines how algorithms on digital platforms parse and classify content by producers of color.
