Austrian artist Claudia Larcher participated in the 11th edition of the Biwako Biennale with her project “AI and the Art of Historical Reinterpretation – FillingGender Bias Gaps”.

A key focus of this project is the eliminationof gender-specific biases in historical datasets used by AI. Since AI modelsheavily rely on historical data, the project examines the consequences of using AI to predict future societal changes. It raises questions about ethics and thepossibilities of complementing, rewriting, and reinterpreting data archivesusing AI technology.

Claudia Larcher won the Beate Sirota Gordon Award 2024, honoring cultural projects in the field of women‘s rights andgender equality.

The installation „Second Sky Collective Dream” by Vienna-based artist Eva Petrič, which combines video, sound, and recycledlacework, was on display at Machiya Club, one of the venues of theongoing Biwako Biennale. Her performance marked the opening of the Biennale.
