This presentation is part of Dissecting Visions of Identity and Care in the Future, a 4 part-film series made possible by the Sloan Foundation’s Science on Screen initiative. Each film will be paired with a guest speaker. Dissecting Visions of Identity and Care in the Future will evaluate how cinema’s interpretation of the future frames humankind within intersections of surveillance, race, healthcare, identity, and A.I. advancements. We are particularly interested in how the technological advancements presented in these films have implications for present day systemic injustices. Director: Shalini Kantayya | Runtime: 85 minutes | Year: 2020 | Rating: UR | Country: USA | Language: English | Documenary Genre: Documentary, AI Tagline: Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies do not accurately detect darker-skinned faces or classify the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected. Speaker: Professor Amy Alexander, Computing in the Arts, UC San Diego Visual Arts Theme: Algorithms, Bias, and Us: Fighting Back and Moving Forward (Fighting for equality and regulation of algorithmic and facial recognition technologies) Critic Quotes: “Coded Bias is not interested in wallowing in despair for the future, like many tech-infused documentaries like to do. Kantayya wants to inform and inspire change.” - Austin Chronicle

This event takes place at the Stage Room, UC San Diego. Young, Indonesian, hijab-wearing, female metal trio Voice Of Baceprot (VOB) have been covering the members’ favourite metal songs since they learned to play their instruments. Their prowess at playing these covers got them attention from fans and media worldwide and enabled them to develop to the point where they could, as a band, create original songs. Consisting of Marsya (vocals and guitar), Widi (bass), and Sitti (drums), the trio first met when they were still junior high school students in their hometown of Singajaya, a small village two hours’ drive away from the city of Garut, West Java. The word “baceprot” from their band name comes from the Sundanese language meaning “noisy”. It was chosen to represent the type of music that they play. Since their formation, VOB have become a point of discussion for a host of renowned global media, including The New York Times, NPR, BBC, DW and The Guardian, featuring them in the pages of their online publication. VOB were recently named by heavy metal and rock magazine Metal Hammer as “the Metal Band the World Needs Right Now”. Connect with VOB on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

Come chat with artist Lewis deSoto about Conquest, now installed at the San Diego Automotive Museum. With his automotive-based sculpture Conquest (2004), artist Lewis deSoto examines the relationship between his Cahuilla background and his distant ancestor (conquistador Hernando de Soto) within the context of the automotive industry, which in its branding appropriates terms, imagery, and aesthetics related to the brutal conquest of the Americas. Conquest subtly interrogates the mythologies and identities of Southern California through the lens of midcentury capitalism. Per Mr. deSoto, "Conquest is a project to trace the ironic threads of DeSoto: automobile, conquistador, myself and our culture. It proposes that the metaphor of history is a set of divergent parallel universes in which to traverse and communicate with." SDAM invites you to learn more about this amazing work at our first event in the Curator Talks series. For more information visit: engage.sdautomuseum.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
