Jinsong (Sylvester) Liu is a multidisciplinary designer from Guangzhou, China. After finishing his bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, he worked for two years on digital transformation in retail and e-learning. With a growing interest in the human-technology relationship, he aspired to become a full-stack designer and decided to pursue further study with advanced skills and critical mindsets. His work appreciates unexpected outcomes and collaboration with diverse people. He also has keen enthusiasm in typography and coffee in his spare time.
Objects of Oppression
Artificial intelligence is increasingly involved in various sectors like health, finance and employment. While the industry seeks rapid economic growth through this technology, much research shows the hidden bias in algorithm and data training. The inconsiderate misuse of AI may exclude the poor or marginalised and deepen the existing prejudice. This project explores a participatory approach to materialise the data bias. Data scientists, designers, and people encountering AI join our co-design workshops and collaborate to build objects that inspire debate and inquiry. In the outcome, we present a speculative commercial stand with a series of “critical artefacts” as an interactive experience to propose collective social reflections.
