October 26, 2021The piece consists of 6 RasperriPis. Five of them are model 3 with a 3.5″ screen and a transparent housing. These
screens are located around the chest, coming out of a “spine”. The transparent case allows you to see the inside of the
mini computers. The chest consists of a model 4 Pi with a 24″ monitor and a webcam. POI Finch: “You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it… “ …maybe the government doesn’t need the machine… you are sharing your intimacy without even knowing and anyone can access it with a 35$ machine. In the context of the digital era, found photography means images found on public websites such as the social networks, e.g. Flickr, Instagram, Google Street View, etc. In these cases, the author of the images meant for them to become accessible (even if only out of legal obligation, as it happens with surveillance footage). As part of my Artificial Intelligence research, I created these contact sheets of the faces that the algorithm detects.
You can read more about my research
here. You can also view the full contact sheets archive on
contacts
or
Flickr. The archive is updated every time the system finds
a sufficient number of new faces. Note that every picture is credited. This is not the appropriation of images from the internet; it’s the re-use of freely distributed
content interpreted by an AI algorithm. How would a robot imagine a human face? “I dreamed about a human being” is like spying into a robot’s brain. “I dreamed about a human being” is part of a project exploring the use of artificial intelligence as applied to photography by using online open source code and data. The project already has a database of 56 million images. We have freely accessible amazing tools and databases of gigantic images, but have not yet fully understood what we can do with them or what it means that they are there.
