Renowned Senegalese hip-hop musicians, poets and street artists sing about algorithmic governance in this provocative short film by Manu Luksch. In the story, a data broker from a fictional company, Data Analytica, pitches his services to two presidential candidates. The broker offers the politicians the digital traces of urban voters and the promise of political manipulation. With the threat of an AI-driven democracy looming, a news reporter from the future gives a glimpse into the world these practices will ultimately create.
