Polarization
2022
Have you ever thought about what America might look like today if people were colored differently based on whether they identify as Democrats or Republicans? Using a supervised machine learning algorithm known as a Support Vector Machine (SVM), I generated this piece by randomly producing 25,000 data points to map a decision boundary.
By printing this pattern onto T-shirts, I aim to suggest that we must first proactively acknowledge our polarization in order to begin depolarizing.
In the space we currently inhabit, what color does the pattern take?
