AI & Me is a multi-piece installation that explores the interaction between artificial intelligence and human participants. It encourages contemplation about the relationship between humans and AI, particularly focusing on the themes of judgment, perception, and the human willingness to be analyzed by machines. Central to this experience is The Confessional, a piece where participants are subject to AI’s unfiltered analysis, receiving a unique blend of description, imagination, and advice from the machine’s perspective.
The Confessional is a candid machine that delivers an opinion about participants based on their outward appearance, designed to provoke thoughts on the broader implications of having AI in our lives and challenge our comfort with technological judgment.
The accompanying piece AI Ego further expands this narrative, offering diverse, AI- generated interpretations of human identity and existence. AI Ego is a piece composed of a series of CRT monitors displaying the participants who enter The Confessional in surreal and completely fabricated scenarios, imagined and generated by AI. This happens real-time, in just a few minutes after they exited The Confessional. This component of the AI & Me not only provides a platform for personal reflection but also aims at helping to understand the evolving dynamics between humans and technology.
