Unmake Lab turns algorithmic obsessions into irony, allegory, and a form of humor using machine perception in an unconventional manner. Specifically, they superimpose the historical context of developmentalism with the resource extraction aspect of machine learning to shed light on contemporary socio-political and ecological situations. In recent times, their narratives have been constructed upon elements such as Generic Nature, disaster, datasets, and computer vision. Besides their artistic approach, education is a fundamental component of their methodology. They actively engage in discourse and research through participation in events such as Forking Room.
