Abstract
The Machine Teaching Commons / Teaching Machine Commons Symposium accompanied the MTC/TMC Exhibition on June 20th 2024 and took place in the AULA, 1st floor at FHNW Academy of Art and Design, Freilager-Platz 1, Basel. The Machine Teaching Commons / Teaching Machine Commons (MTC/TMC) exhibition presents the key creative outcomes of the Scaling Material Urban Commons project. Central to the exhibition is a speculative machine-teaching-based infrastructure for commoning rescued food, enlivened by the promises and perils of site- and community-specific algorithms for governing urban resources. The exhibition explored this infrastructure as a stack consisting of four layers: Kitchens, Assembly, Data-labelling, and Algorithmic Logistics. The exhibition situates this infrastructure in relation to other research-based creative works, highlighting the evolving and entangled praxis for safeguarding autonomy in working with algorithms.
