This project explores our relationship with daily-use AI consumer electronic products. It challenges the design techniques used to make AI products more ‘reliable’ and ‘comfortable’ from the consumer’s point of view. Three AI products have been re-aestheticised from an unheimlich (uncanny) perspective. By making the audience experiment with the ‘Anti-Alexa Experience,’ this project aims to promote socio-technical knowledge and introduce critical thinking towards daily AI products and services.
