Sound fiction series explores tech turning against users
A new series of immersive sound fiction pieces titled L'expérience examines the idea of technology turning against its users. Created by Octave Broutard, the series presents fictional scenarios where everyday tech tools, like GPS or meditation apps, behave unexpectedly or even dangerously.Scenarios highlight tech's unexpected behavior
The series includes sound microfiction grouped under the title Logos Control, which features situations such as an elevator with a non-functional emergency line, a GPS that leads to unknown paths, and a meditation app that fails to calm the listener. These stories aim to provoke thought about the reliance on technology in daily life.Voices of technology become characters
Octave Broutard explained that the idea behind the series is to imagine the small voices we hear daily—such as those from GPS or hotline operators—as characters that could turn against us. This concept transforms familiar tech interactions into unsettling narratives.Free access with optional subscription
The L'expérience series is available for free access through the France Culture application. For those interested in more content, subscription options start at 1.99€ per month for one year, with no long-term commitment required.
