Our collaboration began after Isabelle Higgins (a sociologist whose research explores the power of algorithms in reproducing structural inequalities that shape everyday life) and Josh Wirz (an interdisciplinary artist making work that engages with the politics of algorithmic visibility and digital shame) met at the Algorithms For Her?2 conference in Sheffield in March 2023. Paula Lacey, (a writer, researcher, and campaigner) joined our collaboration following workshop participation.
Going forward, we are looking to run more workshops, continue to develop our virtual database, and raise funding so that we can complete our non-fiction short by the end of 2024. If you are interested in our project, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
