A workshop by research fellow Wael el Allouche
A workshop by research fellow Wael el Allouche
Knowledge is a space, an abstract space where data points are collected, they form clusters of possible relations. AI, ML or NN have a way of finding connections within a dataset. It finds a solution or answers from a dataset. Data is an abstract term, but it can be as tangible as we like it to be.
In this workshop, we are going to demystify data technology and see how we can use it ourselves. How do we navigate without the help of these algorithms, and how do they influence us. And can we alter them? The smartphone will be our tool which we are going to use to document how we move through space, our gestures or how we sense space.

Artist and Designer Wael el Allouche (TN/NL) graduated from the design department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. He is interested in the way abstractions, such as Data and Algorithms, shape reality and vice versa. By digitizing phenomena and objects from the world around him he tries to understand them, before returning them to reality as reconstructions.
Micro-Gestures
Following up the workshop, we will have a dance-off with different DJ’s on the 1st of November. The plan is to party and record the embodied phone behaviour of people while dancing. Mainly to create movements that can hardly be modelled digitally. So come to the dance-off and record your movements.
