TagTender’
Immersive auction experience, 2024
#HumanLabelization #ImageProcessing

The "TagTender’ " auction involved the participants in the unique experience of auctioning off two professors. Other than the common artifacts, this auction highlighted the participants on of our professors, with their personalities and the contributions of these professors serving as the anchor of the auctioning process. For this, we gave a money value to each professor depending on his or her CV and experiences, like how much an MFA cost or how many works were shown in a famous museum. By converting these figures into goods, we would like participants to rethink what labeling and valuing of people means by societal rule. This way, not only did it spark interest, but it also led to deeper talks about how we value people in our daily lives.
