March/April 2025

As part of the For Love of the World philosophy, art, and technology festival, the Feminist Generative AI Lab (a Convergence Lab across TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam) presented an interactive art collaboration with artist Julia Luteijn and AICON. The annual festival is organised by Studium General Delft and took place on March 29.

Through the interactive installation Reprogramming Bias, visitors encountered Julia Luteijn’s artwork Kilo-girls — a collection of computer-generated poems that reflect programmed gender biases, while paradoxically reminding us of women’s pivotal role in computing. Next, The Feminist Lab provoked attendees to respond to the gendered binaries embedded in our technologies with their own take on these binaries. Responses varied, but overall indicate emotional engagement with the topic, for instance when a visitor noted both men and women are “traumatized”, or when another visitor wrote down that both men and women “are hurt”.
