Introduction
Drawing inspiration from the essay "The Nerve of the Algorithmic," my project, "Algorithmic Bible," is a typographic narrative installation and an art movement. This work critically investigates AI's influence on our cognition and aesthetics, communicated through motion posters and videos. Challenging the perception of algorithms as infallible, the project prompts creators to address their anxieties tied to technology's omnipresence and the need to reevaluate our perceptions of AI and technological ethics. The project's relevance resonates on social media, reflecting broader discourse around AI's impact.
I've utilized typography, motion design, and video to convey a complex narrative, initiated the “Create your prototype” movement on Instagram to foster a community, and integrated a VR filter as a part of the participatory experience.
Bullet Points:
- Algorithm is not neutral.
- Algorithm is not rational.
- Algorithm is not efficient.
- Algorithm is not our new god.
- We must resist these mystical narratives and machinations.
- Let us not forsake the human designer in favor of the AI counterpart.
- We stand not against technocracy; creators ought to embrace and master new technologies.
- The righteous path requires neither blind faith nor utter despair.
- We must redirect our focus from the algorithm to the wisdom of algorithmic thought.
- In the face of cold numbers, let us not forsake our inherent sense of humanity.
- We design not for faceless data or soulless numbers, but for the living, breathing human spirit.
Call to Action:
Indeed, the almighty algorithm is swiftly sweeping away the purity of our creativity. As we diligently nurture the growth of artificial intelligence and unmask the mysteries of new media and technology, we were confident, ensnared by the illusion of total control. Yet, the stark reality reveals itself in a divine revelation: the colossal Leviathan of Big Data has been schooling us in parallel, subtly shaping our behaviors, emotions, and self-conceptions.
This daunting insight leads us to the altar of introspection, where we re-evaluate the communion between algorithms and creators: We find ourselves increasingly estranged from the sanctum of authentic aesthetic freedom due to the overbearing presence of algorithms. So, we ponder, how might we reclaim our cognitive liberty and remain creatively fertile in this technological wilderness?
