BIAS / Science Gallery Network (INT – Dublin/Venice/Melbourne/London/Bengaluru/Detroit)
"BIAS" is the title of the Ars Electronica Garden in Dublin hosted by Science Gallery Network (INT – Dublin/Venice/Melbourne/London/Bengaluru/Detroit)
From cognitive function to machine learning, bias is a shortcut for our brain or for data. The *BIAS garden* at Ars Electronica will interrogate how bias moves from human to machine and how persuasion, preference, motivation and misinformation contribute to our individual societal and digital biases. In a year when we have seen the importance of scientific research, the impact of misinformation, and the effect of social media in polarizing communities, understanding our biases and how they are and are not helpful has never been more critical. We will bring together artists, activists, designers, policymakers, hackers, researchers and technologists to explore the ways in which bias dominates our world today, from algorithmic justice and facial recognition to the empathy crisis and systemic oppression.
