A Piece of the Pie Chart – Desktop Edition is a collaboration with Yaouen Fily. It is a smaller-sized version and resembles the larger installation because it also makes use of a robotic arm. This arm draws the pie charts directly onto pies using a food color filled marker. Any kind of gender ratio can be drawn onto the pie. However, the machine cannot be operated automatically by the users as is the case with the larger installation. Therefore, a conversation is needed with me, the “inventor”. The project was shown/performed recently in the context of the festival “Critical Make” at Haus der elektronischen Künste in Basel. The exhibition space is Switzerland’s largest venue specifically dedicated to electronic art. The event was framed as a critical art infused Maker Faire. I brought a subset of the data that I had collected for the LACMA version of the project along to Basel, but the exhibition visitors mostly wanted to visualize self-chosen data. Some of the visualizations were gender ratios related to political representation such as city and community councils. Some people visualized gender ratios at their own workplace and I encouraged them to take the pie to their work place as an object facilitating discussion about gender and the workplace.
