This project is part of the CyberArts 2020 exhibition at the OK.
What level of convenience and comfort does it take for us to be willing to forfeit our privacy and control over our lives to an AI system? SOMEONE is an interactive installation that illuminates the tension between intimacy and privacy as well as between comfort and autonomous action. Instead of a machine, SOMEONE responds to the wishes of the participating Smart Home residents. The project documentation shows these “human Alexas” operating their clients’ specially designed smart household appliances from a command center – while at the same time observing, eavesdropping on, and monitoring them.
