In this brief workshop we’ll use drawing as a way to understand what computer vision is and how it works. We’ll also discuss its ubiquity in current technology and the ways bias becomes calcified throughout these systems. Attendees will leave with some silly drawings and an introductory understanding of GAN and LoRA techniques as well as resources to continue exploring topics like data coloniality and small image generation workflows. This workshop is geared towards those less familiar with machine learning techniques but all levels of experience are welcome!
About this event
This workshop is part of the series A Tool is an Extension of the Hand: Exploring Technology through Drawing. The series, along with the physical exhibit on the 3rd floor of Tisch library, uses drawing as a starting point to learn about and reflect on technology. This workshop series is a collaboration between the Digital Design Studio at Tisch library and the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach. Our goal is to find ways to engage students at the intersection of engineering and creative multimedia methods. Have an idea for a workshop or event? Get in touch with us at tischdds@tufts.edu!
