Salon with Linda Dounia Rebeiz
On 4 Decembre 2024 we discussed with Linda Dounia Rebeiz about AI, archiving practice and agency.
Linda Dounia is an artist, designer, and writer interested in the philosophical and environmental implications of technocapitalism. She is Senegalese Lebanese, and lives in Dakar. Her work mediates her memories as alternative realities and evidence of excluded ways of being and doing. It is formed through the dialogue and tensions between lived experience, code, and AI. In 2023, Linda was recognized on the TIME AI 100 list of most influential people in AI for her work on speculative archiving — building AI models that help us remember what is lost. In 2024, she was also the recipient of Mozilla’s RISE25 award for her work in AI, advocating for greater agency over algorithms – how we perceive them and are perceived by them.
