“Empathy Revisited” – Episode #3: Ibiye Camp

In this episode, the 5th Istanbul Design Biennial’s curator Mariana Pestana talks with Ibiye Camp, the creator of Behind Shirley, the film which has met the biennial audience within the scope of the Empathy Sessions, about how human biases result in an algorithmic bias in digital-imaging technology. The film Behind Shirley, deconstructs and rethinks the colonial narratives in the development of facial recognition systems exploring how darker skin was not taken into account in film chemistry.
