Overview
The project was set out to investigate the implication of current trajectory of Artificial Intelligence regarding the following 3 domains:
- The autonomy of Artificial Intelligence, the idea of a conscious machine.
- Shared characteristics within all forms of intelligence.
- Creativity as a tool in the field of scientific / technology developments.
Context
The installation visualized ML5 machine learning’s properties as projections while feeding the pictures back in to the system as input, recreating the diagrams stems from the research.
The final prototype was set out to be a manifested visual representation on self-awareness itself, to prompt the idea of common characteristics shared between all intelligences. Without siding with specific side of argument, the idea is rather to solidify different sides of discourses with embodied physical settings, bringing the abstract notions closer with real life elements.
Tech / Execution
Centers around MobileNets: A convolutional neural networks application incorporated inside ML5 library operating on P5.js. The camera observes a simple visual abstraction on MobileNets operation then feeds its own interpretation back into the system as new iteration of visual outputs, and the process goes on repeatedly to form a closed loop.
