Artists Lab 17/18

Initial Post

Machine Learning is ubiquitous. Machines and gadgets all around us are continuously learning from the behaviour of their users and the surrounding world. I am interested in this learning process, its algorithmic mechanics and its motivation. I plan to concentrate my work on machine learning

as an interactive tool,
in terms of borders of possible applications (empathy, self-awareness),
in the fact that it can detect patterns, where we do not see any
and its use of "statistical stereotypes" for decision-making.

Step back and you see a person in the picture. An ai could see this without stepping back.

Jaume Sanchez' Polygonshredder seems to be alive when continuously forming new structures in chaos.

-The wish for an intelligent system is very intriguing to me, because it raises the question, if behind this wish stands a socially disappointed human who wants to improve human interaction by replacing it on one side with a machine, ''who'' could maybe someday be a better companion than another human.
