Spring 2022: Resi­den­cy Art hub Copenhagen

For a month we deve­l­oped a game that through an algo­rit­h­mic logic can open memo­ri­es of the par­ti­ci­pants. The resi­den­cy was con­clu­ded by a two-day wor­ks­hop with par­ti­ci­pants from the IT Uni­ver­si­ty in Copen­ha­gen, the facul­ties of Law and Data Sci­en­ce at Copen­ha­gen Uni­ver­si­ty, as well as pro­fes­sio­nals from the wor­ld of sta­ge arts.

Spring 2021: Development

Research into use the of algo­rit­h­mic and bio­me­tric tech­no­lo­gies in 2021. Spe­ci­fi­cal­ly look­ing into the use of iris scan­ning as a tool for moni­tor­ing and pos­sibly con­trol­ling migrants and wor­kers in the work pla­ce, we made a seri­es of test per­for­man­ces with the goal to cre­a­te nar­ra­ti­ves wit­hin an algo­rit­h­mic struc­tu­re. Here we among other thin­gs used per­so­na­li­ty testing systems such as the OCEAN – used by Facebook.

Vin­ter 2020: Semi­nar v. Inge­ni­ør­for­e­nin­gen IDA (IDA)

2020: During the COVID-19 situ­a­tion an increa­sed use of algo­rit­h­mic tech­no­lo­gies are used to sur­veil and mea­su­re the citizens, and the­se tech­no­lo­gies are legi­ti­mized and com­mu­ni­ca­ted as neces­sary tools to con­trol the virus and save lives. 

This poses questions on what can be trans­la­ted into code and what the con­sequen­ces of this increa­sing appli­ca­tion of algo­rit­h­mic tech­no­lo­gies into our eve­ry­day lives mean. 

På det­te semi­nar præ­sen­te­re­de vi forsk­ning og per­spek­ti­ver på dis­se spørgs­mål fra tek­no­lo­gi­ske, mate­ma­ti­ske, kri­ti­ske og kunst­ne­ri­ske synspunkter.
