Gender Shades
Joy Buolamwini (US), Timnit Gebru (ETH)
How well do IBM, Microsoft, and Face++ AI services guess the gender of a face? The Gender Shades project pilots an intersectional approach to inclusive product testing for AI.
SHE BON
Sarah Petkus (US)
The SHE BON project is a collection of body augments which sense aspects of the wearer’s physical state in order to communicate sexual arousal. Collectively, the systems that have been developed for this project make up a highly personalized “suit of amour” capable of orchestrating sensor input from the body in order to display mechanical and electronic forms of performative output which express subtle aspects of the wearer’s physical state in a manner that characterizes their sexual identity.
MegaPixels
Adam Harvey (US), Jules LaPlace (US)
The project aims to provide a critical perspective on machine learning image datasets, one that might otherwise be overlooked by academic and industry-funded artificial intelligence think tanks. Each dataset presented on this site undergoes a thorough review of its images, intent, and funding sources.
Learning to See: Gloomy Sunday
Memo Akten (TR)
Learning to See: Gloomy Sunday is a video and an interactive installation where the recordings taken by a live camera aimed at a table covered with objects are analyzed by a series of neural networks trained on different data sets (ocean, fire, clouds, and flowers).
In Posse
Charlotte Jarvis (UK)
In Posse is an attempt to make the world’s first “female” semen using the artist’s own stem cells and material donated by multiple women, trans and gender-non-binary people. *In Posse* seeks to use science and art to undermine traditional notions of patriarchal power and to examine the meaning of gender now and in the future.
The Seeker
Nye Thompson (UK)
The Seeker is a proto-AI that travels the world virtually looking through compromised surveillance camera eyes and describing its visions. Named for Ptah-Seker, the artist/technologist god of Ancient Egypt, who created the world by speaking the words to describe it, this project looks at how the act of describing the world might establish a whole new worldview for machines and humans alike.
SEER: Simulative Emotional Expression Robot
Takayuki Todo (JP)
SEER is a compact humanoid robot developed through intensive research into the gaze and facial expressions of human beings.
NORAA – Machinic Doodles
Jessica In (UK/AU)
Machinic Doodles is an interactive game installation that examines the collaboration between a human and a robot named NORAA, an artificial intelligence that is learning to draw.
Ghosthouse
h.o (INT)
A deep dive into the information “swamp” is a kind of out-of-body experience. Smartphones, tablets, computer screens, and televisions become gateways for our spirits to embark on a journey.
