This work explores the influence of algorithms in our daily lives, highlighting their role in decision-making and information retrieval, as well as the existence of errors and biases in these intelligent technologies.

The resilient Camarina symbolizes nature’s adaptability and survival. The sand protects it from fire and its pearls offer support to the dunes and nourishment to wildlife, highlighting their interdependence.

In this work the collective interactions of simulated ants lead to an emergent solution, not dictated by a centralized authority. The citizens’ opinions from Hebron, Quito and Seville symbolize subjective understandings of happiness.

An AI being, created in my own image, tries to convince me that she is the one who possesses my identity, and I am a usurper.

This work portrays photosynthesis light and dark phases. It symbolizes a microscopic perspective and highlights a scientific approach. However, the explanation of photosynthesis may have varying scientific interpretations.

Meaning is not fixed but rather a cyclical process influenced by social and cultural contexts through a semantic consensus. In this work AI is a subversive element, challenging social conventions and introducing alternative perspectives.

In this work, AI perceives the void and confronts the absence of a reference model. In the encapsulated sculpture, AI’s ability to generate intangible interpretations without a reference database is represented. The smoke, symbol of nothingness and disappearance, resists being seen, aspiring to be a nothingness it cannot reach.

This work includes a porexpan human figure in an urn house, used as food for worms. Their enzymes digest synthetic material, and their excrement nourishes the plants below. The happening underscores the significance of the circular economy and bioplastics.

The combination of cellular automata, mathematical algorithms, and human creativity creates a multi-sensory experience, blurring the line between human behavior and algorithms, and raising questions about ownership of the process.

This micro-theatre explores human relationships and AI. It examines the shared understanding of common sense as a form of collectively owned truth, while also considering its limitations. Common sense can both limit and liberate human relationships, hindering genuine understanding yet providing a foundation for communication.

AI can disrupt established truths by inspiring alternative realities. In this icosahedron, each face represents a group of established truths from different domains. Visitors can explore alternative perspectives, challenging the ownership and stability of established truths.

This work involves a program accessing a database to generate images based on parameters. It considers who should be credited as the creator of the visual content and whether the program’s involvement diminishes the significance of human creativity.
