Artificial Suspects

The artificial intelligence model in the learning process condenses not only knowledge but also biases. And not only those contained in the quality of the dataset itself (from whom, for whom, why?), but also in the deeper layers of human culture. The result is the ability of AI models not only to generate but also to reduce.

In the case of GPT4o, this is the ability to represent text/words in the form of 3072 numerical parameters. Each word, concept, and longer text thus essentially occupies a specific coordinate in a 3072-dimensional space in the model. This location and proximity to other represented objects then gives meaning not only to a specific text or word, but also, retrospectively, to the world and to ourselves, when the model operates on data analysis of our email inboxes, chats, resumes, essays, or official records.

Conclusions of Police Investigation

Conclusions of Police Investigation is a site-specific video created for exhibition at gallery Umakart. In the video two persons are playing a board game Unusual Suspects. In this game one person is the witness to a crime. He knows who the culprit is but can only answer “Yes” or “No” to questions about the suspect. The second person is a detective trying to make sure the right person gets locked up from a line up of twelve hand drawn suspects. However contrary to original game the version for gallery Umakart consisted of real photo portraits of frequent visitors of the gallery. And the questions were highly political. The visitors of the exhibition thus could saw what do the two random strangers think of them. And thus were directly confronted with prejudice of others.
