Jake Elwes will also be part of the panel discussion, Artist to Artist Conversation: Subverting the Dataset, alongside Libby Odai, Libby Heaney and Bani Haykal 5pm this Saturday 6 Feb.
Using the idea that AI only learns from what it is shown inheriting the biases of the people who built them, as a starting point, questions will be asked and discussed, exploring the work of artists and creative technologists who are subverting the dataset through their practice.
