The Body is Moving, the Machine is Learning
The Body is Moving, the Machine is Learning is a mixed media work spanning across artificial intelligence, visual art, and contemporary dance. Taking a critical stance towards the existing paradigms that prevail in the field of artificial intelligence, this work is an attempt to reconsider the value system at the core of the machine learning approach. How can we shift away from the rational logic of maximum efficiency and minimum loss and bring back the body into the equation? How can we circumvent the surveillance mechanisms, so that they are not used to track and control the body, but to, rather, teach the machines to be more human-like, less perfect, more analogue, less efficient, more redundant, less boring and mundane, more interesting, surprising and even funny? The starting point for this exploration is the movement of the body. Multiple studies have shown that the natural dynamics of the human body has a...
