Artist Beck Haberstroh's Dataset Gatherings: Reclaiming Collective Agency

When tech companies scrape the internet to make datasets, they are organizing us. Artist beck haberstroh started a series of in person gatherings where she invited people she found in datasets. "Together, we have been a part of a technical infrastructure beyond our imaginations. Together, we have had our images used without our consent or knowledge. Together, we’ve made money for someone else. You could think of the other strangers in the dataset as neighbors, colleagues, collaborators. Maybe we want to be co-conspirators, friends, comrades."

It's about gathering and why it's newly urgent to reclaim our collective agency in this time of AI. https://lnkd.in/eQEPKgYQ
