Fusion

Diversity in big tech is a big problem, but while start-up culture debates how to best diversify a field historically dominated by white cis-men, there are artists who have been innovating with tech outside of the establishment. We will look at the work of queer artists investigating identity through tech with curator and writer Dorothy Santos. We will also be joined by game artist Anna Anthropy, whose games explore the intersection of transfeminine identity, technology and witchcraft. You’ll have a chance to play some of her games as we unpack the virtues of technology as a tool for self expression, and the danger of such projects being used as cultural tourism.
