Social
Design StudioThe event is created by Q21 and Site Specific Art and Bogomir are added as “hosts” of the
event. Aesthetics of Exclusion is a collective of artists, designers, coders and scientists that
uses computer vision techniques and machine learning to explore and analyse aesthetical styles that relate to gentrification
and processes of (urban) homogenisation through large image archives such as (Google) StreetView and Instagram.
Late Breakfast with Doringer

It aims to study the visual patterns of gentrification: an urban phenomenon that is
reflected in the decrease of diversity in classes, ethnicities, races, sexualities, languages, and points of view from central
city neighbourhoods; and their replacement by more homogeneous groups. While a lot of research has focused on the socio-economic
causes and effects of this process, its aesthetics have remained understudied. Computation present new opportunities
to research ‘the visual’ on a large scale and make it possible to question, explore and document processes of urban homogenisation.
