Description
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Our perceptions define how we view the world and indicate who we are at our core. In today’s era of big data, every fragment of our interaction with the virtual world is converted into dataanalyzed, categorized, and learned by machines, transforming our unique identities into mere vectors in a vast digital latent space. This input is then fed into a machine learning algorithm, which crafts a virtual sculpture and sound, poetically portraying the viewer’s individuality and identity. This project creates the dialogue between the audience and machine by the machine’s digital abstraction of our identity.
