On 27 and 28 January
2026, the Angewandte explored the materiality of data and its intersections with art as part of the symposium. Through a keynote
lecture by Hito Steyerl, as well as panels and workshops, the role of artistic practices in engaging with algorithmic bias,
data representation, and the ethics of machine learning was discussed and situated in relation to artistic, research, and
teaching practices at the Angewandte.
The video documentation of the symposium is now available
on the base, the web platform of the Angewandte:
