The publication {class} – On Consequences in Algorithmic Classification brings together different perspectives on computational classification and its impact on society. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary study and artistic research project around computational classification that took place in 2023 at V2_Lab for the Unstable Media. The project led to the group exhibition {class}, curated by Florian Weigl, as well as this book.
