DIGITAL POWER: Activism, Advocacy, and the Influence of Women Online, curated by Kathy Rae Huffman for ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Community 2020, addresses the practice of advocacy and activism through the intersection of art and technology and includes works by Nancy Buchanan, Shu Lea Chang, Yoon Chung Han, Soo Jung Kwack, Manu Luksch and many more.

With PREDICTIVE CITIES  (6 min, 2019), Luksch renders a fictitious, futuristic urban space based on her photogrammetric surveys of Dakar. PREDICTIVE CITIES evokes the city’s foundations in code, not concrete: today, access to public space, transit, citizen rights and policing are increasingly mediated through data tokens rather than by physical keys, passages and barriers.
