#2 BIAS

#2 BIAS

What is the value of our individual choices once they are part of a big data set? Nothing but numbers. In fact only ones and zeros.

How can the individual choices of a spectator be reduced to what they are for a computer: a set of instructions that reveals our choices and in the end our 'identity'. Are our individual choices not necessary to distinguish ourselves from others? Or is the opportunity to choose nothing more than an illusion?

In #2 BIAS we follow the dramaturgy of an algorithm: gathering data, defining parameters and making tree-structured decisions. Once we put the algorithm in use, its impact has an immediate effect on its creators, the audience itself.

 

#2 BIAS played from 2017 to 2021 in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Austria.
