Performance 
By Naledi Chai

This experimental sonic call and response improvisation session between Naledi Chai and Reginald Tinavapi investigates a certain technology anxiety that exists in the gap between analogue and digital. In this exchange, storytelling becomes a tool for developing a diverse range of mechanisms and functions—such as collaborative sound creation, interactive audio processing, and real-time feedback systems—that foster knowledge production, shaping new ways of listening.
