Ekene and his lab Poetic Justice at MIT released A Counting, a series of real-time video and sound-based “voice portraits” of U.S. cities
A Counting was created in response to the U.S. Census which has historically miscounted marginalized communities. A Counting, counts to a hundred (a statistical whole) using all voices, accents, and languages of US cities.

"Against the backdrop of the 2020 US Census, a global pandemic, and a nationwide uprising against racism, A Counting seeks to recognize the linguistic and ethnic diversity of this country. [...] New York City is one of the most diverse yet segregated cities and, at a time of increasing division, A Counting meditates on how to heal those divides and speculates on what a unified city could sound like" – Ekene
