Biometric Mirror
A collaboration with the talented @RDYSTDY duo and Mindy Meng Wang to devise a strategy to heighten participants’ awareness around surveillance and reflection- do we trust AI more than other humans?
concept: assign exsisting NeXT Lab ‘cube’ an AI character, invert space/ darken glass box to assist projections, allude to the potential that AI is all seeing/ knowing then leave participants with an undeniable feeling of mistrust.
budget: tiny
Can AI bring the fairy tale mirror to life?
Inspired by the influences of technology on human emotion, Biometric Mirror is more than just a reflection – it reveals unknown truths about its viewer.
As global societies adopt forms of surveillance that reach ever deeper into our lives, human thoughts and behaviours are increasingly manipulated by technology. Through its interactive nature, Biometric Mirror in turn prompts audience members to think about the profound impact of technology on human creativity and the arts, ethics, privacy, authority and our future.
This controversial and provoking new work is underpinned by live performances drawing on ancient Asian traditions. During the performance session, Biometric Mirror will guide you on an intimate journey to rethink your own understanding of the organic nature of performance. The mirror is watching…
