post-window reflects on the semantic, semiotic and affective bridges connecting our imaginary sonic and written languages. It is conceived as a high-level device for sound live coding that visualizes algorithmic sentiment analysis. It is a window that invites us to find the nonconformity within the limits of the algorithm. The training bias, the implicit values of humans involved in data collection and processing, might never replicate the plasticity of the individual mind. Yet, the illusion of being read and understood keeps us engaged, while exploring the timbre space as we type, going from harsh electronic soundscapes to smooth cavern spaces.
