This collection explores the intimate relationship between human and machine. It invites the viewer to question the categorization of intelligent forms into species. As a result, this series questions our relationship towards other species, from the exploitation of animals to ensure our food chain, to the current debate around new rising forms of intelligence in the machine learning field. This series refers to the book by Philip K. Dick, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, particularly to the sexual scene after which the main character starts feeling empathetic for androids, a species he has been hunting until that moment. While science fiction has led us to personify AI, the recent research breakthroughs in this field leads to a display of excitement and fear towards these technologies. We are still far from having developed a new form of consciousness, but we should already ask ourselves if this is the ideal we wish to reach for, and if so, how we plan to interact with this new species.
"Speciesism" will be presented as fixed price on July 18, 2023, at 8 pm (CET) on https://0kai.k011.com, offering AI art followers an opportunity to acquire this remarkable, yet provocative collection.
