Feminist Data Set – Workshop

22 November 2019

It is about experiencing and becoming aware of this collection of information from a clearly feminist perspective. The data will be put into circulation through social networks, to combat traditional models of the female gender.  The aim of these collective actions is to explore how information and interfaces can become agents of change within the automatic learning system to which AI algorithms are subject. All in all, the Sinders project aims to raise awareness of the perpetuation of patriarchal patterns in programming language and to create antidotes in the form of images, sounds and programming that pose a more egalitarian approach to the role of women in 21st century society.

The results of the workshop will be shown in an installation that will be part of the D3US EX M4CHIN4 exhibition.
