AI-Robot – Love (Analog Version)
Put simply, an AI is just a programmed algorithm that performs certain tasks. An AI has no consciousness of its own and shows no understanding. The question of the relationship between AI and love is actually utopian. Nevertheless, I have dealt with this question artistically.
Emotions such as fear, joy, sadness or being in love, which are associated with certain facial expressions or physical reactions, can be learned by AI systems through pattern recognition. AI systems have no feelings of their own, but can show the feelings they have learned. However, as things stand today, they lack the biochemical and hormonal processes that take place in a human body during an emotion. It is well known that humans can develop strong emotional bonds with robots or machines of all kinds. The ongoing development of sex robots is the subject of controversial debate among experts and ethicists.
From the series “AI-Robot – Artificial Intelligence”
The increasing use of artificial intelligence offers a wide range of potential – but at the same time it also arouses fears and has a sinister effect on some people. The “AI-Robot – Artificial Intelligence” series explores selected aspects of this area of tension through art.
First, the motifs were photographed 8 to 13 times each with the analog Klimsch Praktika repro camera. The exposure was made on 50×60 cm, special black and white positive photo paper – without the detour via a negative – with subsequent manual development in the photo laboratory. By exposing directly onto the photographic paper, each photograph is unique within a small edition.
In the second step, the identical image themes were created again – this time with software support from an AI. The subject of close examination and in-depth evaluation here is how such an AI, in comparison to analog photography, implements the individual themes pictorially.
