Yashika Goel (@yaashikagoel)

What if the sociotechnical bias in AI systems today define the institutionalised hegemonies of tomorrow?

 Transdisciplinary designer and artist, Yashika Goel’s practice questions the systems that frame the development of emerging technologies and imagines subversive futures.

Yashika’s recent work is informed by a deep commitment to construct methodologies based on care and community engagement, to speculate alternative ways of making and experiencing AI. She explores the entanglement of human and non-human identities, and where it situates itself in the ongoing technological paradigm shift. Experimenting with new media, code, interactive installation, sound and film, Yashika creates experiential narratives rooted in feminist thought to voice the gaps and introduce inconsistencies as correction methods for biased automated systems that we exist within.
