Rise Above Your Algorithm

About this event

Join us for an engaging gathering of curious minds to contemplate beyond the media we're being fed by our individual algorithms and learn how others are thinking about current topics, inspirations and oddities. In a video salon discussion format, we'll take in a few video snippets and provide a frame for discussion here in the gallery at PROXY. Format_ We'll have a short welcome/mingle/libation session for 20-30 minutes. We will collectively watch 3-5 videos no more than 15 minutes total. We'll open the floor for discussion based on what people are feeling/thinking about the clips. We will pause, and the moderators will describe their curatorial selection process for the clips. We'll open it back up for discussion to see if the arc of conversation is swayed at all by the moderator's rationale We are asking for video submissions to be considered for showing.
