Yet Another Lie
2024Dot-matrix printer, computer, software, paper.
From time to time, the printer comes to life and prints a few sentences on a continuous strip of paper. They seem to predict the future of relations between humans and robots. In fact, this prophecy is generated live by a so-called “artificial intelligence” running on a computer hidden beneath the printer. A program similar to ChatGPT is repeatedly prompted to carry out this strange, endless divination. As the system repeats itself, it keeps printing its predictions over the same strip of paper, gradually covering its earlier, similar incantations. At the end of each exhibition, the blackened strip is collected and preserved as a record of the experience.
