Artist-in-residence announcement

We are thrilled to announce our first artist-in-residence, Yasmine Boudiaf. Yasmine is an Algerian creative technologist and researcher based in London. She is a research fellow at UAL’s Creative Computing Institute, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and previously at the Ada Lovelace Institute. She was recognised as one of ‘100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics 2022’. Her projects interrogate the impact of new technologies on cultural life using anti-colonial approaches.

Yasmine’s project will sit at the intersection of generative AI, intangible heritage, and decolonial practice. It responds to the urgent need to rethink AI infrastructures that rely on extractive data practices, high carbon footprints, and cultural appropriation. The residency will investigate technical pipelines, participatory design and techno-rituals.
