I want to use human rights data to make art that changes us, and moves us toward an equal and just future.

Based in UK, she is a TED Senior Fellow, a co-founder of the Data as Culture art programme at the Open Data Institute (ODI), and holds a PhD in Media & Arts Technologies from School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London.
