Algorithms in Context: Online Talk with Vera van de Seyp

Algorithms in Context (AiC) invites you to an online talk with Vera van de Seyp. The Amsterdam-based media artist, designer and creative coder combines graphic design and typography with creative practices spanning from machine learning, data scraping and data visualisation. With a background in graphic design and a strong focus on typography, she has committed herself to exploring new forms of design through artificial intelligence and creative coding to push the boundaries of media. In her work, she questions how we perceive and interpret the world and presents new and unexpected answers.

As a key player in the male-dominated Creative Coding scene, Vera inspires through her playful and open approaches. Next to her creative work, Vera teaches at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and gives workshops and lectures across the world to inspire makers to code and make their own tools.

About Algorithms in Context

As a network of artists, researchers and students, AiC aims to foster critical debate and knowledge sharing on the topic of Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence systems in particular: From their potential for creative production to their impact on society, arts, culture, economy, environment, politics, and all of our daily lives. Through workshops and a series of online talks, thinkers and creatives are invited to explore the limits of technological advancements, discuss ethical and socio-political challenges and provide insights into their creative practice with AI systems. Over the course of this year, AIC will offer classes, provide students with extensive resources and establish a lab for AI and Robotics at the HfG.
