Thanks for this. I am curious about your work and looking forward to you talking about your project and expanding on some of the ideas you mention here. You describe for us the relation between algorithms and trans bodies as a liminal distance that starts at the point of rejecting or ommitting transness from available/possible categories that are necessary for binary logic that define algorithms. This is the trap that trans people find themselves in, or as you say, they inhabit this space and in this praxis of living they 'sense' and 'refuse', trouble, delay, distort and glitch algorithmic infrastructures. I wonder if you are planning to share with us examples of that. And what these examples show: is it that algorithmic violence fails against the uncodeable logic of trans life? And if so, what is the form that such error takes? What kind of relation do these errors generate between bodies and algorithms?

As you mention Onuoha's practice of querying data, I am also thinking about various strategies that artist Ren Loren Britton develops in their practice of creating access and working through questions such as how trans and other excluded bodies imagine access and includsion and practice of collective critical engagement with computation and computers. I wonder if you are also developing similar practices and/or praxis.
