Please join us for a conversation about algorithmic justice between media artist Mimi Ọnụọha and scholar Simone Browne at 4:30pm Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Ọnụọha’s critical data practice combines artificial intelligence (AI), data mining, and documentary to expose contradictions in technological progress. Technology relies on various logical systems that are adapted to different uses or applications. Throughout the talk, the speakers will explore how the contemporary logic of quantification, which focuses on grouping things together based on similarities or certain properties, permeates all aspects of life. They will also touch on the risk, power, and potential of being unrepresented in these systems and cover topics such as missing data, Black geographies (an area of study exploring the connections between racial identities and place), and more.
Ọnụọha is the subject of a city-wide art exhibition; more information here.
