Artificial Materialities: "Biometrics, Bodily Autonomy, Belonging, and Cartoon Birds"
About This Event
Connected biometric devices have created new concerns, like surveillance capitalism and threats to bodily autonomy, as well as new opportunities, such as broader access to previously specialized tools. In this talk, Ar Ducao will discuss lessons learned from studying, developing and deploying biometrics systems, using case studies of their spatial analysis startup, their research as a professor that specializes in DEI&B (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging), and their sci-fi arthouse animation project “The Great Tit is a Bird.”
