Algo-Rythms

The role of algorithms in our lives is growing rapidly, they are everywhere! From simply suggesting online search results or content in our social media feed, to more critical matters like helping doctors determine our cancer risk. But algorithms are nothing more than computer programs making decisions based on rules: either rules that we gave them, or rules they figured out themselves based on examples we gave them “Whether it’s running in a computer program or in our head, the model takes what we know and uses it to predict responses in various situations.” The question is, how do we know an AI algorithm is making the right decision? In this artwork the woman personifises this concept, our computerised environment . The jumpy and binary code background with scrolling digits moving symbolises this dehumanised and unreassuring reality.
