Recipes for a Technological Undoing
Funded by the Editorial Board

Recipes for a Technological Undoing invites students to work across disciplines to generate new understandings of how artists and designers can combat techno-determinism. We seek to unravel the assumption that technological progress in the way it has manifested was inevitable and will continue to be so. Undoing the structures that seek to quantify, rank, capture, and predict our endless ways of being.

The technologies we wish to undo are those that claim to predict social outcomes, those that perpetuate a hierarchy or preference based on race, gender, sexuality, or physical ability. In the lectures, we will learn how these preferences are encoded in the technologies themselves. And build away from a history of science that centers a white, Western epistemology.

We will learn how the disciplining of knowledge - the separation of the arts and humanities from the sciences - enables automated bias.

We will (physically) meet weekly on Thursday afternoons, usually between 16:00 and 18:00
