About the artist
Anna is an artist and researcher who works with information, data, photography and AI.
A core element of her work lies in the creation of ‘datasets’ through a laborious process of selecting and classifying images and text. By creating her own datasets, Ridler is able to uncover and expose underlying themes and concepts while also inverting the usual process of constructing large databases.
Her interests are in drawing, machine learning, data collection, storytelling and technology.
