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.
The interviews for the project were conducted with the support of the Deutscher Senioren Computer Club e.V., F1 - the district center at Mehringplatz, the BCMA Gallery and the self-organized women's group 60+ from MigrArte Perú.
On June 19 at 5 p.m., the exhibition will be opened and a video will be presented that is the result of several months of work. In this video, people over the age of 60 in Berlin share their experiences and feelings in connection with AI. In addition, the artist Karina Villavicencio will present a performance on this topic. Location: BCMA Gallery, Audre-Lorde-Straße 78, 10997 Berlin
On June 25 at 16:00, we invite people over 60 to share their experiences, questions, personal experiences, fears and thoughts on artificial intelligence with us, with the aim of further exploring and expanding these perspectives.
