💌 hi, I love building community through critical-creative code and building tools to bring Intersectional approaches to AI.
Currently, I am Professor of Computational Thinking and Aesthetic Doing at Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln (Academy of Media Arts Cologne), where I run Code Collective--a community for co-learning programming using approachable, interdisciplinary strategies. I recently won the STARTS Grand Prize from Ars Electronica and the European Commission, and I have been named an AI Newcomer by the German Informatics Society and an AI Anarchies Fellow with the Akademie der Künste. I hold a PhD in Media Arts and Practice from the University of Southern California and an MFA from University of California San Diego. You can reach me almost everywhere @sarahciston💜(they/any)

What do you wish you could change about AI? How could queer, anti-ablist, anti-racist, and feminist practices help reshape AI in fundamental ways?
