is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), affiliated with the Machine Learning Group (MLG) and the FARI Institute, under the supervision of Prof. Tom Lenaerts. Her research investigates the sociotechnical implications of face analysis systems, drawing on cognitive psychology, feminist theory, and critical studies to examine how algorithmic vision encodes fairness and accountability. Her current work focuses on face verification, beauty filters, generative models, and fairness frameworks, designing interventions that expose and contest the politics of algorithmic vision. She holds a PhD in Engineering Sciences and Technology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Université de Mons (2025), and a Master’s degree in Information and Communication Engineering from the University of Trento (2021).
is postdoctoral researcher in the University of Amsterdam. Her research offers techno-critical perspectives on the cultural, ethical, and artistic implications of AI systems in contemporary visual culture. She has served as co-organizer for several academic events including the II ELLIS Doctoral Symposium in Alicante (2022), the ELLIS Human-Centric Machine Learning Reading Group (2021-2024), the "Colors of AI" workshop in the International Conference on Computational Creativity (2024), where she also served as workshop chair in 2025. Outside of academia, she has been the main organizer and Art director of FateCinema (2016-2019), a collaborative open-sky cinema laboratory in San Potito Sannitico (Italy), and she has co-founded the collective no:topia in 2017, through which she occasionally translates her research into interdisciplinary artworks, creating installations that have been exhibited internationally (including in venues like Ars Electronica Center, FUTURIUM, Re:Publica).
is a final-year PhD student at the University of Tübingen working at the intersection of machine learning theory and society. Based on his educational background across mathematics, philosophy, and computer science, he is pursuing transdisciplinary research on AI systems in society, in particular concerning underlying assumptions, data practices, and ethical implications. His recent work has focused on measures of discrimination as well as the epistemic and ethical difficulties rooted in the statistical nature of AI systems, that is, the assignment of individual predictions based on modeling choices such as the set of considered attributes. He has been involved in the organization of various events for academics such as an interdisciplinary reading group on the philosophy of machine learning, a panel on mental health in science, and a public outreach event for women and non-binary scientists (Soapbox Science).
is a Brussels-based community builder and founder of Skin Mutts. She started talking about mixed cultural identities in 2016 and since then she's been organizing events, workshops, activities and gathering around these topics. Her work revolves around bringing people together and making complicated sociopolitical topics accessible to the people. Her practice is based on her experience growing up with a multicultural background, understanding the need to make conversations about identity broader and more nuanced. Through her work, she brought several topics to the forefront, such as legal identity, beauty standards, language barriers, intergenerational trauma and the importance of community. In 2022 she led the production of the Skin Mutts Magazine as creative director.
is a final-year PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence for Society at the University of Pisa, Italy. A qualified lawyer, researcher, and policy analyst, she has published award-winning papers on AI governance and frequently translates her academic work into policy recommendations. Her research develops equity as an alternative to fairness in AI auditing, drawing on feminist theory, ethics, law, and participatory research methodologies. She has designed and led co-design workshops with diverse stakeholders to create equity indicators for auditing practices, applying design justice methods. Her work aligns feminist and decolonial perspectives in HCI to assess accountability mechanisms under the EU AI Act, with a particular focus on upholding fundamental rights such as equality and non-discrimination.
After an M.A. in visual communication as an investigative method pursued at the Royal Academy of Arts The Hague and starting her PhD with an MPhil at UCL’s History of Art Department, Corinna Canali is currently a research associate and PhD candidate at the Berlin University of Arts and Weizenbaum Institut. She works with multidisciplinary perspectives and methodologies developed from critical theory and artistic practice, and her research traverses digital technologies, gender and sexual bias, biopolitics, and visual culture studies to outline how Western apparatuses of digital governance systemically obscenify, –i.e, render obscene–the feminised body and its social identity.
is passionate about escaping the academic ivory tower by translating her academic work into interactive art installations for the broader public, which in 2017 led her to co-found the artistic collective no:topia. She is currently a doctoral student at the Humboldt Institute of Internet & Society, where she investigates the implications of AI in the knowledge workplace and has a background in Media Studies & Art History. In 2020, she was an affiliate at Metalab (at) Harvard.
is the scientific director of ELLIS Alicante and has over 13 years of experience being in the organizing committee of scientific international conferences and large events for non-scientific audiences. From a scientific perspective, she has served as co-chair of 22 international conferences, serving the role of General chair (UMAP 2011, EAI Mindcare 2016, EAI PervasiveHealth 2017, ACM MobileHCI 2018, ACM IUI 2020, ICCV 2025), Technical Program chair (EAI IUI 2009, ACM MIR 2010, ECAI 2020 as associate, ECML-PKDD 2021, ICML 2024), Track chair (ACM WWW 2013, ACM MM 2014, IEEE Mobile Data Management 2016, ACM Digital Health 2016, ACM Digital Health 2015, ACM MM 2017), Area chair (ACM ICMI 2012, IJCAI 2021), Industrial (IJCAI 2011), Doctoral Symposium chair (ACM IUI 2012), Sponsorship chair (ACM ICMI 2011), and Demo chair (IEEE ICDM 2016). She has also co-organized large events for broad audiences, such as the first TEDx Barcelona (Spain) event devoted to technology and education (2015) with over 1,000 attendees, the first Social Thinking workshop in Barcelona (2015), several Artificial Intelligence conferences (2016-17, 2022-23) with over 3,000 attendees in Alicante (Spain).
Launched in October 2022, the first issue of Skin Mutts Magazine expands the collective’s work by curating narratives and visual experiments that foreground cultural dissonance, hybrid belonging, and the everyday negotiations of mixed cultural identities. Rather than presenting identity as stable or singular, the magazine brings together stories, images, and speculative forms that reflect its fluid and often contested character. The issue combines photo-essays, personal reflections, and design-driven storytelling, drawing on Skin Mutts’ earlier projects such as CITIZENS*—a series of photo-interviews mapping how people in Brussels connect their identities to the urban fabric. In both content and design, the magazine cultivates a distinctive visual language that reclaims aesthetic space for those who feel “in-between” cultural categories. Supported by community partnerships, the editorial stance emphasizes inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that the magazine speaks not only to those who live with mixed identities but also to wider audiences interested in cultural dialogue and representation. As such, Skin Mutts Magazine operates simultaneously as a community archive, a platform for public engagement, and a cultural intervention into dominant narratives about identity. Its inaugural issue demonstrates how artistic and participatory practices can translate complex lived experiences into tangible, shareable formats, making it a particularly fitting medium for extending workshop outcomes beyond academic environments and fostering dialogue across diverse publics.
