● 22/02/2024
“Many technologies are modelled on our anatomy—they are extensions of us. I wanted to get closer to the sirens, to see them as a ‘circuit of an ear and a mouth, listening out for threat and broadcasting it to the population,’ to quote the film.”
– Artist Aura Satz, describing the noisemaking subject at the heart of her debut feature film Preemptive Listening (2024). In conversation with associate producer Tendai John Mutambu, Satz discusses sonic aesthetics and how adopting an abolitionist framework impacted her narrative.
