In this performative lecture and dialogue, artist Stephanie Dinkins and writer/scholar Louis Chude-Sokei will engage art, artificial intelligence and technopoetics as products of the African diaspora and of a desire to construct Black and other futures. The dialogue will explore the relationship between technologies and race, including how algorithms intersect with gender, race and history and how configurations of the inhuman or artificial make possible dominant understandings of the human, and the challenges of building ethics into global technocultures.
