As part of our +Focus Module , Anna was invited to give us an artist talk. Anna is since a long time working and reflecting in the fields of Machine Learning and the production of Datasets. In this Talk she will join us online to give us some insights into her work.
Anna Ridler (born 1985) is an artist and researcher who lives and works in London. She works with collections of information or data, particularly self-generated data sets, to create new and unusual narratives in a variety of mediums.
A core element of Ridler’s work lies in the creation of handmade data sets through a laborious process of selecting and classifying images and text. By creating her own data sets, Ridler is able to uncover and expose underlying themes and concepts while also inverting the usual process of scraping pre-classified images found in large databases on the internet. Her interests are in drawing, machine learning, data collection, storytelling, and technology.
