World Translation Foundation: exploring emoji as an abstracted communication form

March 12, 2014

My project deals with the question, how does technology mediate our relationships with each other? Does it contribute or disrupt human closeness and connection?

Night Sky Web Animation

The Night Sky explores html5, CSS via Sass in the form of a night sky. I used css and the transition tag to create all of the animations you see. Click on the image to interact with the animation. Wait a little bit for the surprise at the end before leaving!

DATALAND did not appear from nowhere. In 2016, Gray Area and Google presented what has been described as the first exhibition of generative AI art. That same year, Meow Wolf opened a world audiences could physically enter. Later, through Gray Area’s Experiential Space Research Lab, I explored how immersive environments could do more than entertain. They could encourage agency, critical thinking, and new relationships between people, technology, and living systems. Now Refik Anadol’s DATALAND brings those histories together through AI, environmental data, biosensing, and responsive space. The biggest shift is not simply that AI has entered the museum. The museum itself is becoming a living system. I wrote about the longer history behind this Reel, what excites me about DATALAND, and the ethical questions a responsive museum must confront.

A lot of the AI conversation right now is about what machines can create. This story is about what they might help us recover. Researchers at Santa Clara University have developed an AI Provenance Assistant to help researchers trace artworks stolen during the Nazi era—searching across fragmented historical records and surfacing connections that might otherwise take enormous amounts of time to find. The AI doesn’t decide who owns a work. Humans still have to verify the evidence. But it can help researchers find the evidence. To me, this is a much more interesting vision of AI: not replacing human expertise, but giving people new ways to navigate enormous amounts of human knowledge. And sometimes, helping recover a history someone tried to erase. Read the full NPR story at the 🔗 link in my bio. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ArtHistory #DigitalHumanities #CulturalHeritage
