(they&she) I'm completing a PhD at USC Media Arts and Practice with the support of a Mellon Fellowship in Digital Humanities. Currently in Berlin, I am an AI Anarchies Fellow with the Akademie der Künste and an Associated Researcher at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, and recently a Google Season of Docs Mentor with Processing Foundation's P5.js. I also run Creative Code Collective--a student community for co-learning programming using approachable, interdisciplinary strategies. I was just named a *2023 AI Newcomer* by the German Informatics Society. You can reach me almost everywhere @sarahciston💜
