This website will be made soon, with some intention and attention, css & js. I am a PhD candidate in English at the University of Waterloo on the Haldimand tract. I work on computational rhetoric, and critical/resistant/alternative approaches to algorithms (/AI) and algorithmic culture, from a variety of perspectives, and write some electronic literature. This url previously hosted the Titled, "Untitled" [TODO: reconfigure xwiki] project but will soon be my personal website & portfolio instead.
Kavi Duvvoori is a PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo in English. Their research in computational rhetoric focuses on the impacts of algorithmic mediation on communication. It includes an empirical study of large textual models abilities to process the form and meaning of rhetorical figures and linguistic constructions in light of human neurocognitive affinities; a study of the assumptions of identity and embodiment in algorithmic voice synthesis in relation to the theories of the elocutionary movement; and a research / creation project drawing on queer media studies to develop tactics that defend plurality, participation, and fluidity in algorithmically mediated language.
Kavi Duvvoori is a writer (and other things) currently based in Kitchener, Ontario, on the Haldimand tract. Their interests include experimental and constrained literature, birds, borders, speculative fiction, lists, linguistics, the limits of language, math, worldbuilding, infrastructures, the search for ways of living that reject hierarchy and domination, sauteing, maps, and evasiveness. They have published a couple small pieces in online publications and fear the enclosure of language itself.
