there is too much confusion, said the joker to the thief

the video sound installation „there is too much confusion, said the joker to the thief“ deals with the problem of capitalization of semi-public internet platforms. the video contains texts of recordings by the Cambridge Analytica whistle blower, Christopher Wylie, as well as a fragment of the historic song by Bob dylan, „all along the watchtower“ from 1967. facebook had illegally provided the consulting firm Cambridge Analytica with 87 million users‘ data. this data was then used, among other things, by the campaign team of U.S. President Donald Trump. the video is conceived as a song in which various mixed forms of algorithmic-human voices known from pop music (autotune, vocoder, pitchshifter, timestretcher, etc.) are used.
