Capstone Week 8
Production update
Spring break was a bit of a wash when it came to work, although it did mark the beginning of the pivot away from model development and into this new phase of the project that exists in a more conceptual, educational space. I’ve made a determination that the project will look like a modular source of theory and information, with the portrait portion of the project acting as a type of praxis for the evidence-based claims made in the paper. What that looks like in a physical sense was resolved this Tuesday:
I was asked to represent IMA at a high school CS fair uptown, and so in order to express the work that I do (and therefore is possible within the context of IMA), I made a zine about the bias that occurs within datasets. The zine was called Under The Hood, and it was a simplified version of the research done for the paper. In a distinctly new way, it gave the project a new angle of purpose. I would like to find more paths like this in the future; a project that is surrounding the creation of a toolset in order to make subsidiary artforms. That feels fulfilling, right?
