In this episode of Artist and Computer, host Bea Taylor Searle speaks with Alida Sun, a generative artist and intersectional futurist based in Berlin and New York. We discuss some differences between the mainstream artworld and the coding communities, what it means to be an activist and how to dismantle both tech’s barriers and the oppressive nature of the companies that dominate them through actively working with Free and Open Source Software and advocating for more people to get involved in these practices.
