"Spectacular Data is an interdisciplinary research-creation project

that investigates contemporary registers of fascism and authoritarianism

as they transform social, cultural, and political domains into modes of spectacle, facilitated by AI and technologies of surveillance, disinformation and domination. 

As a collaboration of academics, artists and researchers from a range
of disciplines, the project is looking to develop creative approaches and opportunities to critically engage the emerging modes of

technologically enabled fascism and authoritarianism.
