The paper introduces the concept of deepscape—the planetary flows of media intensively computed by deep learning throughout infrastructures of AI. It describes the diffractive prototyping of a RAVE deep generative model over worldwide soundscapes. It relates three deep listening experiences raising awareness of non-human scales of deep learning.
