Art project AI and people over 60

The artistic project New Valley Table opens up a multi-layered reflection on ageing in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and provides insights into marginalized perspectives and experiences with algorithmic systems. AI is changing the way we live and work.


Algorithms are playing an increasingly important role in decision-making processes - both in everyday life and in sensitive areas such as healthcare, recruitment, credit scoring and ensuring security and access. What opportunities does AI offer for older people? What are the risks that lead to greater exclusion or discrimination of already marginalized people?

Artistic concept

New Valley Table examines how structural power relations, stereotypical representations or discriminatory practices in the context of AI shape the realities of older people's lives
Through emotional mapping and personal narratives, stereotypical notions of age are challenged. The diversity and different perspectives of people who already have a lot of life experience become visible.
Visitors are also invited to share their own perspectives and stories as part of the Open Shooting Day on June 25.

New Valley Table is part of the research project Algorithmic fairness in ageing societies: (re-)imagining a better future(anyage.ai) of the Social Science Research Center Berlin, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.

The video installation will be presented as part of the MindAIness event 2025: The performative practice of mindful engagement with Artificial Intelligence in our society.

About the artist

Karina Villavicencio (Argentina) is a contemporary artist, researcher and curator. Her work operates at the intersection of performance, photography and social practice. In participatory formats, she deals with questions of power, visibility and care. From an intersectional-feminist and decolonial perspective, she understands the body as a living archive - as a carrier of political memory, resistance and collective vulnerability.

About the researcher:

Justyna Stypińska is a sociologist researching algorithmic discrimination and bias in AI technologies. Her focus is on how these processes create new dimensions of social and economic inequalities in late capitalism.

Previously, she led an international research project on innovation and age in entrepreneurship at Freie Universität Berlin. At the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, she is Principal Investigator of the research project "AI Ageism: New Forms of Age Discrimination and Exclusion in the Age of Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence" funded by the Volkswagen Foundation.
