Assistant Professor, Art
My research investigates how programming is forgetting, both as a method and a warning, in artificial intelligence, machine vision, and autonomous systems. My investigations prompt interferences in dominant technological infrastructures that are black-boxed and out of reach for people of color. Bias in computer systems exists because a computer program is written from a particular point of view. I am interested in reworking hidden female narratives within computer technology and their relation to craft. I am working with LACMA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory to apply new design methods in artificial intelligence and emerging aerospace technologies that speak to climate change, the role of craft in space colonization, and terraforming Mars.
