qual a cor do seu dataset?

qual a cor do seu dataset

for the pre-opening of the new LADO B cultural center and the RIOS-REAIS event, unflat created a series of works mixing machine learning, augmented reality, and motion sensors with interactive installations.

"what color is your dataset?" poses reflections on algorithmic racism, exposing how datasets are predominantly composed of images of white people. how are Black bodies classified and will be classified? in which datasets are their images?

the installation uses a live machine learning model to classify visitors in real time, confronting them with the biases of the systems that claim to see us all equally.
