Self Andrea, Domestic Data Streamers
Teaches Writing Against Algorithmic Mediation
Drawing on a background in product design and a natural interest in sociology, I currently focus on the responsible application of AI tools in arts, culture, and education. Dreaming about a new wave of “Planet Center Design,” I tend to challenge anthropocentric intelligence with a positive, yet critical, view of technology. This analytical approach informs my aesthetic and ephemeral practices within the urban space (from now on “Playground”).
Through spontaneous acts of so-called “Poetic Terrorism” I investigate the “Playground” as an ‘unfinished puzzle’ formed by contemporary society, producing “temporary hacks” that interfere and alter “reality” while exploring new ways to inhabit our shared space.
I am part of Domestic Data Streamers, where I currently lead T.A.Z., a division focus on the development of experimental and commercial projects that focus on the implementation and investigation of AI from a critique and responsible perspective. Far from being an AI enthusiast, I learned to integrate this “tool” within my creative process in order to question my practice and define narratives that could help me to better understand my surroundings.
