“Mooniverse (Full)”

Our Mooniverse series is inspired by the power of the Moon through the dark days of winter, when it is at its zenith. The sun's power is brought to its weakest point during these days, giving the Moon a chance to express its fullest intent. These are powerful days for working with sub-conscious energy, water energy and the energies of rhythms and cycles. This piece expresses Full Moon Energy. Mixed Media.

👋 “Algorithm”

This piece is titled Algorithm. In modern times, the stewardship of information has been implemented by public facilities like libraries, schools and public universities. The people have had direct, physical contact with the information they consume. But that is slowly (or not so slowly) changing. With more and more of us turning to the internet for "facts", or at least answers to everyday questions, information is slowly being moved online and into the hands of private corporations like Google. Even universities are partnering with Google to supply direct and instant information instead of outdated methods such as libraries. Google Search contains some of the most powerful information algorithms on the internet for sorting and providing "Factual" information. We, as consumers, put a lot of faith in believing that search engines like Google are programmed with algorithms looking to provide the most accurate, truthful and neutral information. But are they? After all, these algorithms, as powerful as they are, are still being written by humans. And Google is an advertising company not an information steward, and as such, are looking to service their highest paying clients with the most optimal search engine results. It can also be shown how these search engine algorithms are programmed to leave minority groups based on things like race, s*x, gender and class marginalized and left unseen and unheard, or falsely represented, in the search results of certain words and phrases. I am not saying that these information search engine algorithms are inherently bad, I'm saying that who monitors the programmers to check for misrepresentations and biases is important, and the leaving of them in the hands of private corporations like Google, especially since Google has such a monopoly on the market, is probably not in the best interest of the people, especially for minority groups and marginalized peoples. So that's what this piece is about, thoughts and reflections on the idea of who controls information and the algorithms that are deciding that for us. Check out Safiya Umoja Noble's book, Algorithms of Oppression for a detailed study of the topic. It will make you think. Mixed Media.
