Grant Received from VW Foundation for Collaborative Project "Re:Coding Algorithmic Culture"

Over the next 1.5 years, the project participants will investigate the question of how algorithmically based collections, classifications and interpretations of data can perpetuate existing social inequalities/ discrimination – and also challenge, if not redefine them. Research formats will be hackathons, game jams, coding workshops, participatory design labs, design noir Experiments, performances, exhibitions as well as video and text analyses. These interdisciplinary labs are meant to be critical, queer-feminist, anti-racist and work with de colonial knowledge in digital-real space. The application was submitted by Elisabeth Tuider and Pinar Tuzcu (Sociology of the Diversity, University of Kassel), Claude Draude (Gender/Diversity in Informatics Systems, University of Kassel) and Johanna Schaffer (Visual Communication, Kunsthochschule Kassel), other project authors are Ipek Burçak, Isabel Paehr and Nicole voec (Alumnae and students of the KhK).
