'''Selena Savić''' (1980, Belgrade) is an architect, designer and researcher, interested in the design of infrastructures, their spatial and cultural implications. Selena received her PhD from the Federal Technical Institute (EPFL), Lausanne, and Technical Institute (IST), Lisbon, in 2015. Prior to joining the SINLAB research group at EPFL, Selena received a Master's degree from [[Networked Media Piet Zwart Institute Rotterdam|Networked Media department]] at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, and an engineering degree from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. Combined with the background in urban planning and research in cities, her interests gave rise to a practice of interrogative design of objects and environments. Her work was exhibited at a number of festivals and exhibitions, as well as research symposia and conferences. She regularly collaborates with designers, programmers, researchers, theatre directors and artists on hybrid practices that tend to render visible what is normally taken for granted. She lives in [[Lausanne]].

Selena Savić is an Assistant Professor for Proto-history of Artificial Intelligence and Machines in the Arts at the University of Amsterdam. She works on critical and creative approaches to data, at the intersection of computational processes and postcolonial critique of technology. She currently works on a generative genealogy of data and measurement in the context of GenAI. She researches, teaches and writes about digital archives, computational modelling, feminist materialism and posthuman networks in the context of art, design and architecture. After completing her PhD at EPFL and a postdoc fellowship at ATTP, TU Vienna, she led the Make/Sense PhD programme for practice-based research in art and design at the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW. Her recent publications include edited volumes Radio Explorations and Teaching Artistic Strategies.

She currently lives and works between Lausanne and Amsterdam. She was born and raised in Belgrade, at the periphery of Europe and outside of EU border regime. Adopting the logic of her ‘immigrant’ status in research, she made myself familiar with her current research site, the possiblity for a history of AI through an arch of studying design and technology, beginning with architecture, moving to study media design, and then to doctoral studies in architecture in Lausanne. She later studied data and information architectonics in Vienna, Basel and now in Amsterdam. She never formally studied computer science, but learned basic programming and extensively read, mainly in English, the media theory, STS, history, philosophy, anthropology and cultural studies related to computation.
