Feminist Data Workshop
In this workshop, Caroline Sinders introduces the methodology she created to guide both her art and research practice: research driven art. Sinders’ work explores data collection as both art and protest–an approach participants will engage with by exploring machine learning, data, and design thinking. By treating data collection as a collaborative process, participants will create a feminist data set from the ground up, while also learning how data collection can be used as an artistic, collaborative, community practice.
