Hugo Paquete - CEEC-FCT Research | Post-Digital Sonic Media Art Podcast

AI as Catalyst Research Project (2024-2027)

CEEC-FCT research project at INET-md, University of Aveiro led by Hugo Paquete exploring AI's transformative role in digital performance and electronic music through the concept of the AI-Chimera, cybernetic ecologies, and post-techno aesthetics. This research investigates how artificial intelligence functions as a catalyst for reconfiguring practices, processes, and ontologies in contemporary artistic creation.

Research Concepts

  • AI-Chimera: hybrid creative entity merging human and machine creativity
  • Cybernetic ecologies: immersive sound worlds from human-data-algorithm intra-action
  • Technological unconscious: exposing hidden architectures of control
  • Data-sound: sonic manifestation of digital data structures
  • Post-techno aesthetics: rhythm as systemic critique

Academic Podcast Series

This podcast operates as a speculative platform for theory-in-the-making, documenting the AI as Catalyst research project through explorations of post-digital sonic media art, biopolitical sonification, media archaeology, vibrational ecologies, and immersive sonic architectures. Each episode investigates sound as both artistic medium and research methodology in contemporary practice.

Methodological Approaches

  • Biopolitical sonification as analytical framework
  • Media archaeology of sound technologies
  • Vibrational ontology and ecological sound relationships
  • Immersive sonic architectures and spatial audio research
  • Critical sound studies and auditory culture analysis
  • Experimental composition as research methodology
  • Artistic research in post-digital sound practice

Post-Digital Sonic Media Art Podcast | Hugo Paquete – Artistic Manifesto & Sonic Research

Post-Digital Sonic Media Art Podcast by Hugo Paquete

Hugo Paquete's podcast operates at the intersection of sound, system, and theory, transmuting noise into knowledge and framing listening as an act of resistance. The artistic practice repurposes obsolete infrastructures, geological and biological data, informational flows, and algorithmic processes to construct immersive sonic architectures.

A Podcast for Sonic Thought: Theory, Practice, and the Technological Unconscious

This podcast operates as a speculative platform for theory-in-the-making, charting the interzones where sound art, media philosophy, and technological infrastructures converge. Each episode performs an act of aural forensics, uncovering the hidden systems, codes, and dynamics that shape how we perceive and inhabit the contemporary world.

Moving beyond the language of genres, the series investigates the conceptual forces driving current sonic practices: post-digital aesthetics, biopolitical sonification, and the meta-politics of subcultural movements. These explorations unfold as a living extension of my artistic and academic research, where sound becomes an epistemic system to probe the technological unconscious, adopt glitch as methodology, and speculate on the potential of post-human collaboration.

Each episode invites listeners to re-think listening itself: as theory, as practice, and as a tool for navigating the entangled ecologies of art, technology, and culture.
