ΣXHALE exposes algorithmic violence by questioning the responsibilities of both artificial intelligence and one‘s own. It is an ecosystem of catharsis, a biome whose very existence demands alternative forms of empathy and knowledge.

ΣXHALE is a rhizome of the Humane Methods project, an ongoing reflection on violence in algorithmic societies.
