In a virtual space of multitudes of data, what happens to the pieces which fail to be accepted?
Throughout the broadcasting timeframe, I want to construct a virtual world that gives life and a voice to the hidden and undefined.
Inspired by projects from Mimi Onuoha, I am interesting in giving space to the missing and their significance to "successful" datasets.

Main focus resides in a storyline ... dev a story (rather than the tools) let the tools aid the storyline.
Key tools - tf/idf -- commonvoice clip graveyard (missing / non-spoken, that which is hidden)
Finding linears between data and haunting/mysticism. The spectrum of knowledge.
TO-DO: Late night TV psychic. During the hourly phone-in, we are introduced to the anonymous source who submitted the field recording of the clip graveyard, and together, try to contact the missing data filtered out by the Common Voice algorithm.
IMPORTANT: Using recognised media formats to subvert and twist the narrative. Nostalgic & accessible.

OBFUSCATION:
1. the act of making something less clear and less easy to understand, especially intentionally.
2. the act of putting false or confusing information on the internet, especially using special software, in order to stop search engines being able to collect information about you
3. the act of creating computer code (= instructions used to program computers) that is difficult for humans to understand, in order to reduce the code size and hide it from other people
RESIDUAL:
1. REMAINDER, RESIDUUM: such as
a: the difference between results obtained by observation and by computation from a formula or between the mean of several observations and any one of them
b: a residual product or substance
c: an internal aftereffect of experience or activity that influences later behavior
d: remaining after a process has been completed or something has been removed
Create the story of the worker from the call centre of the second week. We call the number, and are led through previous broadcasts until we choose 'tech apology letters'. At this point, the operator hijacks the call to use The Hidden Oracle, a passion project born from the injustices she found at work. This is where we do the live reading with someone who has heard through the grapevine that she provides these readings, and together we break down a Facebook apology.

TASK : Reread the amaro text looking for ways/methods the psychic could summon the voices from the graveyard, do an oracle practice.
