Good morning,
Please find information below for an artist’s talk and workshop
featuring Caroline
Sinders (https://carolinesinders.com/). This is the final event in the Relevant
Research Series (https://scds.ca/events/relevant-research/), co-presented
by the Sherman Centre (https://scds.ca/) and Spark
(https://cress.mcmaster.ca/) at McMaster University.
*Research Driven Art*
*Talk | 9-April, 2021 | 1:00 – 2:30 EST [**register*
(https://u.mcmaster.ca/research-driven-art)*]*
Caroline Sinders is an artist and researcher whose work explores the
intersections of critical design, trauma, data, and AI as art. This talk
will explore the methodology she’s created to guide both her art and
research practice, called “research driven art.” Inspired by
photojournalism, critical design, and open source software, research driven
art is a process driven artistic methodology and approach to knowledge
mobilization.
*Feminist Data Set*
*Workshop | 16-April, 2021 | 10:00 – 2:00 EST [**register*
(https://u.mcmaster.ca/feminist-data)*] *
Can data collection itself function as an artwork? Can it act as a form of
protest? In this workshop, participants will collect feminist data
beginning with an introduction to machine learning, data, and design
thinking, and leading into a collaborative and facilitated process with the
objective of building a feminist data set from the ground up. This workshop
explores how data collection can be used as an artistic practice and a
collaborative, community practice. The workshop is intersectional and trans
and non-gender binary inclusive.
