ACM SIGGRAPH is a Special Interest Group of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. Since 1981, the SIGGRAPH conference has hosted an annual art show showcasing some of the world’s most innovative and creative digital artworks. The conference is attended by tens of thousands of computer artists, animators and other computing professionals.

Four artists have been asked to present ‘lightning talks’ of 5-7 minutes, after a short introduction by the moderator, exhibition curator Kathy Rae Huffman. We want to have time for discussion and questions at the end.
The artists include:
By working in public space with Augmented Reality, Gangnam Makeover is an intervention that allows scrutiny of the beauty industry in Korea, and recognizes how this industry sets a societal problem for females who desire escape from body-shaming.
Feminism is a Browser is an intergenerational narrative, told through the construct of a cyber entity. The history and importance of a unique online female community (FACES), is revealed through interviews with the female pioneers of the internet.
The archive online as a new function of memory and activist models, documents the performance works of Leslie Labowitz and Suzanne Lacy working with women in the media, arts and government on violence against women within their conceptual framework of ARIADNE: A Social Art Network.
Using 3D animation and Virtual Reality, The Coyolxauhqui Imperative brings together past-present-and-future voices, to create a mythology of Queer Chicana feminism. the use of bilingual spoken word and storytelling reveals decolonial political activism and opens vortices of multiple dimensions that commingle within an immersive experience.

What is the role of artists, engineers and computer graphics professionals in creating more equitable technologies for society? How can we ensure that inequalities are not transferred to and exacerbated in AI/ML algorithms, and that underserved communities benefit while having a say in how their data is collected and used? Join creative-AI practitioners and technologists for a lively dialogue on inclusive practices in the development and use of AI.
