AI Renders the World (2023) by Kira Xonorika
When it comes to intelligence, humans often place themselves at the center, emphasizing cognitive tasks and the structuring of systems. Annicka Yi expands on this with the provocation that machines could have ”sensorial intelligence” evolving independently from humans, in ways that transcend the notion of ”anti-human AI” or the binary of dystopia-utopia. When I was working on this piece, I witnessed how the machine is programmed to render that which is legible; yet, when it’s encountered with the amorphous, space for possibility opens, both pieces reflect on machines learning about the world and its architectures.
