Project overview
A community-based lecture and dialogue with queer artist Kinga Michalska exploring the intersection of gender, technology and future human identity.
The project created a critical space to examine how emerging technologies both reinforce existing gender norms and open speculative pathways beyond binary constructs.
Areas of inquiry
The project addressed the relationship of gender and technology through:
Artistic narrative: queer visual practices challenging dominant gender representations.
Algorithmic critique: analysis of bias in AI systems shaped by limited and exclusionary datasets.
Post-binary futures: speculative discussion on how technology may redefine identity and embodiment.
Achieved results
The project enabled participants to connect real-world technological failures with broader systemic issues of representation and power.
By combining artistic perspectives with critical analysis of algorithmic bias, the event clarified how technology reflects social hierarchies while shaping future frameworks of gender expression.
Participants developed a deeper awareness of how data politics affect marginalized communities and influence collective imaginaries of identity.
Core insight
The project revealed a central paradox: technology holds the potential to liberate identity, yet continues to reproduce structural inequalities when built on exclusion.
It demonstrated that inclusive representation is not an ethical accessory but a structural necessity for creating technological systems capable of supporting plural, evolving forms of gender and humanity.
