<p><br></p></div><div><p>The text selection and our reading choreography in October was made by <strong>Julie Boschat-Thorez</strong>
who is an artist, researcher and fellow Varia member. Her work focuses
on knowledge organisation systems and the stories which can be extracted
from them. She primarily investigates archives, collections, datasets,
and museums, with an interest for variability, circulation, community
and access. Her practice materialises in installations, performed
lectures, printed matter or online interfaces. Julie has been trained in
Fine Arts at the ERG in Brussels and Media Design at the Piet Zwart
Institute in Rotterdam.</p>
<p>During this session we will dive into a recent paper by Abeba Birhane entitled <em>Algorithmic injustice: a relational ethics approach</em>.
Abeba has recently completed a PhD in cognitive sciences and her
research sits at the intersection of complex adaptive systems, machine
learning, and critical race studies. The paper investigates ways to
address algorithmic injustice that go way beyond efforts to build more
inclusive/representative, and “debiased” datasets.</p><p><a href="http://varia.zone/en/rr-community-memory-1.html" target="_blank">http://varia.zone/en/rr-community-memory-1.html</a><span id="gmail-m_-6698546395677970172goog_1820555427"></span><span id="gmail-m_-6698546395677970172goog_1820555428"></span></p></div></div></div></div>
