Kate Crawford:
Her project Anatomy of an AI System with Vladan Joler won the Beazley Design of the Year Award, and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the V&A in London. Her collaboration with the artist Trevor Paglen produced Training Humans — the first major exhibition of the images used to train AI systems. Their investigative project, Excavating AI, won the Ayrton Prize from the British Society for the History of Science. Crawford’s latest book, Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence (Yale University Press) has been described as “a fascinating history of data” by the New Yorker, a “timely and urgent contribution” by Science. and named one of the best books on technology in 2021 by the Financial Times.

Joe Davis (US) earned his Creative Arts degree (Mt. Angel College 1973) pioneering laser carving methods at Bell Telephone Laboratories. While at MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies (1981-1989), he created Microvenus, the first genetically-engineered work of art. His Poetica Vaginal (1986-1987) and Rubisco Stars (2009), were the most powerful, longest-duration interstellar messages ever transmitted. Widely regarded to have founded new fields in art and biology, Davis joined Alexander Rich Laboratory (1989-2015) and Thomas Schwartz Laboratory (2012-) at MIT Biology, and as “Artist Scientist,” George Church Laboratory at Harvard Medical School (2010-). Davis has also created large public sculpture at Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Amy Whitaker studies the frictions between art and business and proposes new structures to support economic sustainability for artists. Stemming from Amy’s longstanding engagement in the social practice of teaching business to artists, this research has contributed new methods of art market analysis that center artists and archival materials. These structures, in turn, inform policies of economic redistribution in democratic societies. Amy has developed new models of fractional equity in art which rely on blockchain technologies.
