Algorithmic Miner

Algorithmic Miner is a VR-based art installation critically examining data annotation labor, highlighting the workers as invisible yet essential resources within AI systems. Through repetitive VR annotation tasks and machinic directives, participants’ labor materializes as jellyfish ascending to a simulated utopia, visualizing the exploitation of human creativity. The work urges reflection on the ethical implications of technological advancement, resonating with the theories of Marx, Heidegger, and Baudrillard.
