Stephanie Dinkins is renowned for her critical investigations into artificial intelligence and machine learning systems as they intersect race, gender, and our future histories. By using her training in documentary practices as a photo-based artist, she creates inclusive platforms for dialogue and action toward building technological ecosystems and datasets that are equitable, accessible, and transparent. Her immersive installations, community-based workshops, and public talks seek audience participation and engagement in a way that pushes the boundaries of new media and socially engaged art practices in the 21st century. Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data brings together nationally renowned curators and theorists who draw from methodologies of art criticism, social practice, new media theory, and critical studies to offer an in-depth analysis of key installations in Dinkins’s survey exhibition. The book also includes an important essay by Stephanie Dinkins on her concept of Afro-now-ism in which she expands on her theoretical framework and positionality as a Black new media artist in the 21st century. Dinkins’s artistic research transcends the boundaries of visual art to challenge and expose the bias and inequities of caste, race, and gender, which are encoded within digital systems on which governance, healthcare, and security infrastructures in the United States are based.

Photographs by Charlee Brodsky Stephanie Byram was an active, athletic young woman entering the prime of her life. She held dreams of earning her doctorate, pursing a career, falling in love, and starting a family. A doctor's visit, shortly after her thirtieth birthday, changed everything. She had been concerned about a painful, swollen right breast, and tests confirmed the presence of a tumor. Stephanie was diagnosed with highly aggressive, highly malignant breast cancer-Stage IIIb infiltrative ductal carcinoma-and within two months she underwent a double mastectomy. Doctors gave her a 50 percent chance of surviving five years. Despite this prognosis, Stephanie looked to the future, and refused to be deterred by the obstacles thrown suddenly into her path. Though she was rarely cancer-free and suffered recurrences that were progressively more invasive and damaging to her body, over the course of the next eight years she would live a life of her choosing. Stephanie fell in love, married, and bought a home. She earned her Ph.D., and even found the time and energy to revise her dissertation topic to how women make medical decisions after they have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. She traveled to London, Tibet, and Hawaii; went on safari in Zambia and Botswana, rang in the millennium atop the Great Barrier Reef; hiked the grueling, thirty-five-mile Inca trail to Machu Picchu on her honeymoon, just weeks after a devastating recurrence; and visited the Grand Canyon before her death in June 2001. Stephanie came to appreciate the details and experiences found in a typical day. Learning to live in the moment, she found joy while playing with her cats, tending her garden, observing the birds jostling at the feeder, walking in the park by moonlight, laughing with friends. And running. Always an avid runner, Stephanie placed even greater importance on the sport following her diagnosis. She vowed to be the first person to run in each Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and would eventually run in thirty out of sixty-one events. To help publicize this uncommon feat, she approached Charlee Brodsky about taking some photographs for inclusion in a press packet. What eventually evolved was much more. As their working relationship grew, so did their bond. Stephanie was Brodsky's subject, but they became collaborators and closer friends. They developed art exhibitions, a video, and often gave lectures, presentations, and inspirational talks to groups across the country. And, now, together they have created this book. Knowing Stephanie combines Brodsky's photographs and Stephanie's dialogue, which along with Jennifer Matesa's biographical essay, "Reconstructing a Life," paints a complete and compelling portrait of an extraordinary woman. For Stephanie, this project was an opportunity to visualize herself-her life and her body-differently. According to Brodsky, "She was able to transform her profound disappointment with the cards she was dealt into a life that was about living." In so doing, Stephanie has provided a treasure for us all.

In Krakow, Poland, Rosalie, with her colleague Anton, intercept an arms shipment, conveyed by the arms trading Yanukovych group, that was destined for the Middle East. Rosalie is told that the shipment contains a consignment of radioactive wastes intended for a dirty bomb, but the shipment is split to prevent them from locating the hot part. After uncovering both parts of the shipment, they discover that their handler in Tel Aviv was behind the operation and is now directing his colleagues to hunt them down and kill them. They join up with an independent intelligence agent, Abraham, who has been tracking the radioactive wastes and, together, they map out the identities of the plotters. The threesome flee Krakow in a blizzard on a freight train to Gdansk and escape to Hamburg on a coastal container ship, Stephanie and Anton falling into a hopeless love as they move through the apparently hopeless situation. Stephanie and Anton plan to go public with their information at a press conference in Tel Aviv and make a break for freedom, but their adversaries have other plans. Fleeing Israel, Rosalie joins up with Abraham's intelligence group, White Swan, based in England, to regroup and attack her foes from a different direction. She reverts to her original name, Stephanie, and moves back to her birth country, Guatemala, in order to investigate a small end of the Yanukovych chain. Stephanie becomes ensnared in an unrelated project about natural hazards, directed by her sister's boyfriend, Evan. When the bad guys mistake that couple for their real enemies, they send two assassins, Kravchuk and Dankevych, out to kill them, as described in Favelito (Oskar Pt I). Together, the White Swan agents determine that the small Guatemalan operation is not just about Oskar but, instead, is an enormous money laundering scheme that services arms dealers world-wide. Stephanie photo-IDs members of the cartel and has a series of violent confrontations with their thugs. Using Stephanie's data, her White Swan cyber-wizard colleagues defenestrate the arms dealers' financial system and reveal them to the world. Tel Aviv remains recalcitrant about her status ostensibly to protect its government from falling.. While back in England, writing up reports on the results of their recent effort, Stephanie's boss asks her to help evaluate a ranch in Argentina that could serve as a refuge for beleaguered White Swan agents, such as Stephanie. They meet with Sean, an Aussie ranch manager, and spend a couple of weeks in western Argentina doing the evaluation and discovering an equipment scam centered on the ranch. As the ranch closing nears, Stephanie's colleagues broaden the scope of the arms sales and shift the involvement of different parties. A short assignment to help out an intelligence community associate takes Stephanie, in drag, to Athens. During an uneventful period of surveillance, she goes to a performance by a favored belly dancer, where she has a star-crossed encounter with the chief assassin, Kravchuk, of the Yanukovych group she had frustrated in Krakow. The story ends with a long, fierce, very personal knife fight in an Athens alley from which no more than one, and possibly not even that, could emerge alive.
