HYBRID 7 JUL 09:00 UTC - CDI - Leviathan's Ear: Machine Listening and Platformisation isoc.live/21517 @cdi-warwick.bsky.social hosts a livestream + workshop on machine listening, voice interfaces & digital sovereignty. #MachineListening #VoiceData #Platformisation #DigitalSovereignty
Promotional graphic for an event by the Centre for Digital Inquiry (CDI). The background is a layered teal and dark cyan digital collage with abstract circuitry, waveform-like textures, and faint architectural or interface outlines.

At top left is a black circular CDI logo with white serif lettering. Along the left side, repeated vertically in large translucent magenta text, is the phrase “Digital Inquiry Centre for.”

Dominating the right half in large white serif typography is the title: “Leviathan’s Ear: Machine-Listening & Platformisation.” Beneath the title, centered in a dark teal rectangular banner, is the date “7 July 2026” in bold white serif text.

The overall aesthetic is academic and cybernetic, blending surveillance, digital infrastructure, and media theory themes with a moody, futuristic color palette.
