3 Short videos of AI robot interaction on site
Around the world, roboticists are developing humanoids that are intended not only to physically resemble human beings as as closely as possible, but to progressively acquire new skills, language and knowledge, and convincingly manifest emotion. I've worked in collaboration with roboticists and AI scientists to create drawings, an XR experience and these videos that incorporate snippets of the robot’s AI. The work investigates human/machine communication and engages participants in an intimate dialogue with the AI. These three short videos were taken on site at the "sittings" for my Android Portrait Project.
