Espresso Exposé

Mona Hedayati (CA), Wouter Maas (NL), Sander Veenhof (NL)

Espresso Exposé is an interactive artwork that shines a light on how AI is increasingly reconfiguring our daily lives. Through interactions with a “coffee recommender” agent, with some unexpected twists, the audience is confronted with the contrast between direct front-end results and opaque back-end processes of machine learning operations.

This in turn prompts them to think more deeply about their choice of delegating decision-making to AI.
