Imagine AI as directors of human experience: Do we notice a difference between when an AI director demands actions in a performance setting from subconscious behaviours in our daily lives? AI may even have more presence in our lives than most people we encounter. “by AI” is an orchestration of a multi-device web interaction directed by an AI conductor with the intention of recreating the experience of training an AI system turned into humans. The participants’ images are analyzed for facial data categories the system deems valuable–a usually opaque step in AI processing is revealed on screens. An overall image is built from each facial component and is then fed back to an algorithm that translates its pixels into melody. Uncanny is the indistinguishable difference between how humans can exert influence on our actions, emotions, and behaviors. How do we experience the shift? Will we acknowledge ourselves being trained?
