Drag vs AI Workshop Video Preview

EXPERIENCE THE AJL DRAG VS AI WORKSHOP

You'll learn about the basic workings of facial recognition technologies from AJL founder and Poet of Code Joy Buolamwini. Then, with the assistance of veteran drag performers, you'll learn how to use make-up, accessories, and other props to drag the machines and confront the ‘Coded Gaze’ -- the algorithms that claim to read our age, gender, mood, and identity. Once you've assembled your look, you'll have a chance to do your thing on the runway! Finally, you'll learn about how to move from individual acts of resistance to shared oversight of facial recognition technologies and AI systems.
