<br>CF+ Lab Meeting #2 with Caroline Sinders:
<br>“Building a feminist data set and a feminist technological praxis”
<br>
<br>12:00-18:00, January 17, 2019
<br>Kassel, Germany
<br>
<br>During this meeting of the ongoing project “Reconfiguring computing through
<br>cyberfeminism and new materialism” (CF+) we will invite participants to
<br>explore what it means to establish a feminist technological praxis. An example
<br>of such praxis will be explored during a workshop “Feminist Data Set” with
<br>machine learning designer/user researcher, artist and digital anthropologist
<br>Caroline Sinders (https://carolinesinders.com/). In the past years she has
<br>been examining the intersections of natural language processing, artificial
<br>intelligence, abuse, online harassment, and politics in digital,
<br>conversational spaces. She is the founder of Convocation Design + Research, an
<br>agency focusing on the intersections of machine learning, user research,
<br>designing for public good, and solving difficult communication problems. As a
<br>designer and researcher, she has worked with Amnesty International, Intel, IBM
<br>Watson, the Wikimedia Foundation, and others.
<br>
<br>The workshop „Feminist Data Set“ will investigate varying methods of
<br>creating a feminist data set. What is feminist data inside of social networks,
<br>algorithms, and big data? A feminist data set queers the archive, the
<br>spreadsheet, and the data set. It moves beyond a white and male space, forcing
<br>the technology to reflect the community. A feminist data set acts as a means
<br>to combat bias and introduce the possibility of data collection as a feminist
<br>practice, aiming to produce a slice of data to intervene in larger civic and
<br>private networks. Exploring its potential to disrupt larger systems by
<br>generating new forms of agency, the session asks: can data collection itself
<br>function as an artwork? How can we create data to be an act of protest against
<br>oppressive algorithms?

<br>About CF+
<br>CF+ is a project of the Gender/Diversity in Informatics Systems research lab
<br>at the University of Kassel, Germany. The project aims to lay the groundwork
<br>for revisiting dominant modes and practices of knowledge and artefact
<br>production in computer science through cyberfeminist and feminist new
<br>materialist lenses. It also aims to consolidate a network of researchers,
<br>artists and designers working on and interested in these issues for on-going
<br>collaboration. More here: https://bit.ly/2EF2jp7
