Mimi Onuoha, currently a creative in residence at Olin College, visited Wellesley on 23 April 2019 and gave a talk, What is Missing is Still There, sponsored by CLCE,Computer Science, Media Arts & Science, Peace & Justice,
Philosophy, and Women & Gender Studies.

Mimi Onuoha is a Nigerian-American, Brooklyn-based new media artist and
researcher whose work deals with the missing and obscured remnants forged
from a society based on automation. Through layerings of code, text,
interventions, and objects, she seeks to explore the ways in which people
are abstracted, represented, and classified. Onuoha is fascinated by how
metrified societies require the fluid, organic, messiness of people to be
secured, tagged, categorized, and abstracted. In a world mediated by
computers, everything begins to look like data, and that which doesn’t fit
the mold is at risk of being forgotten.
