This “FACE” workshop is about the influence of technologies on our understanding of beauty. Who decides what is beautiful − ourselves, society or AI? Who controls the digital view of bodies and for what purpose? What role does discrimination based on gender and/or race play in this context? How are body ideals and beauty standards influenced by personalised news feeds, quantified self and wide availability of cosmetic surgery? Do these processes lead to a global standardisation of aesthetics?
As always, we want to reflect and experiment together in this interactive workshop format in order to use current and future technologies in a self-determined and political way.
The workshop is hosted by Philisha Kraatz, co-host of this edition is Echo Can Luo. Philisha Kraatz is part of dgtl fmnsm and works as an experience researcher and performance artist.
