Master class - Linda Maria Jessica Kronman (Digital kultur)
Nicolas René Maleve (Aarhus University) is giving a master class for PhD candidate Linda Kronman (LLE) based on material from Kronman's thesis "Performing Bias – Conceptions of Machine Vision Bias in Digital Art"
Hovedinnhold
Abstract:
This PhD thesis investigates how the relationship between bias and machine vision is conceptualised in digital art. It questions the role of bias in AI-powered perception through two projects that I have been involved in: The "Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives" created as part of the Machine Vision in Everyday Life project, and "Suspicious Behavior", an artwork I co-created as part of the artist duo KairUs. By analysing artworks, creating network visualisations and conducting artistic research I demonstrate that artworks embrace, expose, reverse-engineer, embody and hack machine vision bias. What emerges through art is an algorithmic literacy which brings the human back into AI. My conclusion is that understanding how machine perception as a technology designed by humans is always biased and yet malleable opens up the possibility to perform bias, or in other words, to shape and change the worldviews ingrained in contemporary machine vision systems.
