Algorithms and Intersectional Biases

Questioning the myth of algorithmic neutrality, my work focuses on digital image banks and biases of gender and race.  Fundamental devices for the maintenance of the media and communication universe, these banks help guide and build the social imaginary about what it means to be a woman and to be black through subtle modes of erasure or overexposure in certain search results. Keywords are analyzed in the domains of affectivity, aesthetics and financial/professional life, highlighting the technological opacity that permeates the productive field of these apparatuses and the algorithmization of gender and race inequalities.
