How harmful are the visual biases we see daily? | Marine Tanguy | TEDxLausanne

Every single day, we consume hundreds of visual biases. We click on them, we endorse them and they hurt their victims, all the while generating huge amount of money to social media platforms, the main stream media and Google search engines.
We have to put a stop to it.

She discusses racial, religious, gender, age, and socioeconomic prejudices perpetuated through media images.

This talk explores the transformative power of art in challenging stereotypes and features inspiring examples of artists redefining societal narratives. As we approach an AI-driven future, Marine urges us to critically assess the images we create, share, and consume, advocating for a more inclusive visual representation.
