Rodrigo Ochigame who examines unorthodox models of computational rationality, such as nonclassical logics from Brazil, nonbinary Turing machines from India, and frameworks of information science from Cuba. Their research includes digital anthropology, the anthropology of science and technology, and the social dimensions of robotics and artificial intelligence.

19:30 Introduction and public lecture by dr. Rodrigo Ochigame
20:30 Panel discussion & Q&A with dr. Rodrigo Ochigame, Femke Herregraven, Flavia Dzodan and Chris Julien.

Femke Herregraven (1982) is a graphic designer and researcher. She is interested in the power structures and relationships between financial markets, international law, geopolitical relations, ethics and global climate change. She provides insight into these complex matters in surprising ways and in a playful way opens up viewers to our economically driven and ruthless world. Herregraven is part of TRADE-OFF, an experimental research project on lithium.
senior researcher
Flavia Dzodan is a senior researcher and writer at the Research Group on Algorithmic Cultures at Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Even though much of her work comes out of academic research and theory as part of her work at Sandberg Instituut, Flavia takes pains to point out the non-academic nature of her practice. She describes herself as a “scavenger” of theory, an outsider who collects and assembles bits and pieces of existing ideas and hypotheses to construct her own discourse. In her case, this discourse is a sharp and critical analysis of algorithms and digital culture at the intersection of race and gender politics. She places particular emphasis on the way in which the colonial agenda of the past mutates and persists in our digital tools, cultural products, surveillance systems, networks, and data flows.

Chris Julien mixes research and practice in the fields of public innovation, ecology and culture, with a focus on epistemology and governance. He is currently pursuing a PhD at Utrecht university that combines new materialisms with decolonial and ecological thought to constitute a field of so-called ‘ecological governance’ supervised by Iris van der Tuin. Furthermore, he is active in, and a spokesperson for, Extinction Rebellion and as an independent practitioner focusing on urban ecology and regenerative cultures, besides siting on various boards and committees. He holds cum laude masters degrees in Conflict Studies & Human Rights and in Cultural Analysis.
