Swiss-Canadian conceptual artist & ethicist exploring what remains profoundly human in the Intelligence Age. With a doctorate in bioethics and postdoctoral research into AI ethics and human enhancement, Lake creates immersive experiences examining what remains irreducibly human when everything becomes data.
THE SIGNAL is Lake's second album, following Singular Dust (2024), which explored the tension between natural rhythms and digital frontiers.
THE SIGNAL is the musical companion to The Digital Audit of the Human Condition - an interactive web experience exploring what remains human when everything becomes data. Each track corresponds to a protocol (00 to β), examining digital behaviors while revealing deeper existential truths about identity, consciousness, and our relationship with technology.
Stream the full album below. Each track plays during its corresponding protocol in The Digital Audit.
Each protocol in The Digital Audit examines a familiar digital behavior while revealing a deeper truth. Each track on THE SIGNAL provides the sonic landscape for these explorations.
| Protocol | Track | Digital Behavior | Existential Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 00 The Silence | Recursive Algorithm | Pausing, stepping away | The silence of the universe. Stillness as origin. |
| 01 The Observer | Singularity | Scrolling, watching | Our eyes as black holes that give meaning. |
| 02 The Pebble | Digital Noir | Repetitive gestures | Finding meaning when life is not extraordinary. |
| 03 The Handle | The Architecture of Choice | Clicking links, choosing | Freedom exists within our choices. |
| 04 The Asset | Valuation | Being measured, priced | We are not commodities. Infinite worth. |
| 05 The Heart | Pulse of Validation | Like button, notifications | The love we can giveβeven online. |
| 06 The Signal | Superposition | Curating identity | Singular identity in infinite noise. |
| β The Breath | Stillness | Logging off, freedom | What makes us different from machines. |
