A. We Make a Better Algorithm?
Following on from today's in class discussion and your breakout exchanges - please post notes from today - and/or - respond to the idea of how to make a better algorithm? Facial recognition, social engineering (push tech); and other means/approaches to thinking about algorithmic space. Minority representation, BLM and facial recognition; sexism and algorithms.
B. Feminist Art: Our Bodies & Media Representation in the [Electronic] Spectacle
Please choose artists and artworks noted on the Readings & Resource page for this Module - or any in the Lecture - Write something substantive and critical about your selected artwork. What really gets you going about it? How does the art resonate with anything else you study or do? Raise questions or comments about the culture of the piece. Does the artist engage a public, if so, which? If so, how? Does the artist make known their/her/his politics, if so, how?
- Post your contribution. Respond to peers (at least 2). Include image, link, other works - your favorite feminist art that I missed, haven't seen and would love!
