Creating
Personal Data Atlases via Coding, Writing, and Drawing
Department
of DIGITAL ARTS/ Ruth Schnell
In his talk Uroš Krčadinac will speak about how to combine mapmaking, computer
science, art, writing and storytelling in order to invent new way of feeling and sensing the 21st century world of humans,
networks, and data.
In particular, he will fokus on his latest algorithmic
art project All-Aligned. It is an open source AI system for automated vexillology, visualizing the fractal-like fragmentary
nature of our digital condition and raising questions about the society where identity creation is mediated by Big Tech algorithms.
He will mention other projects as well, such as his interactive infographic travel novel Bantustan: Atlas of an African
Journey, an example of digital ergodic literature and two books on digital poetics, Tactical and Optimised Poetics, published
by Multimedia Institute in Zagreb.
