🎙️✨ I’m working so that Artificial Intelligence becomes digitalised orality 🌀💻🌿
1. 🗣️ Oral tradition is a technology of memory 🧬
Oral traditions are not primitive nor outdated:
they are living archives 📚🔥—ways of encoding ancestral wisdom through storytelling, voice, song, rhythm, the body and gesture 🕯️.
In many ways, they resemble AI models 🤖:
they too compress, remember, adapt 🧠.
But unlike the written archive, oral tradition is relational and embodied.
It is not simply consulted—it is transmitted, felt, and shared in community 🌍👂🏾.
In The Guardian of the Earth, the Oracle does not recount the past as if it were someone else's story 1/3🧵
She inhabits it 🌀. She speaks from the past—
from a circular time, where truth is ceremony 🕊️. 3 replies
