Yann Patrick Martins

Yann Martins is a coder, artist and doctoral candidate of the Make/Sense PhD Programme. Despite his practice rooted in programming, his doctoral research looks at the ways in which capitalist mode of production and machine learning are re-enacting forms of inequality and discrimination. In his practice he develops tools for Critical Debugging, by subverting the canonical use of browser and using them to investigate how algorithms operate in the background. He also has pioneered a teaching format at the Critical Media Lab that links technological education and cooking practices. He naively believes that alternative and sustainable mode of living outside of neoliberalism are still possible and contributes actively to projects that deal with Commoning and the Commons.
He is very eager to learn about your projects and is willing to help develop ideas in the field of programming either creative or not, sound design and sonifications.
