Artists Reveal the Scary Side of AI
About
Welcome to the first ever CIFRA TV episode: Unboxing the World, One Artwork at a Time. Together with curator Anika Meier and artists Boris Eldagsen and allapopp, we venture into the strangest corners of AI. Childhood diaries reappear as a teenage clone who doesn’t even share your taste in Taylor Swift. CCTV footage becomes a surveillance love story. Bukowski rants from beyond the grave through an AI poetry generator. A digital twin grows so perfect the artist has to kill it. There is also a slow utopia in the making, and an AI student who enrolls at a university and gets cyberbullied by humans. These are stories that are dark, funny, unsettling, and sometimes unexpectedly hopeful. Each one asks what remains human once AI begins to mirror our memories, fears, and obsessions.
