Hopeless Acceptance

Hopeless Acceptance, 2022

Interactive video installation

Hopeless Acceptance is an interactive installation based on predetermined imagery created using artificial intelligence. It culminates a machine’s perspective on a particular human emotion, grief. It is the utter exploration of AI’s capabilities to understand what makes us huma, digitally building an installation that fully immerses the audience in utter representation of grief both visually and auditory. Visually creating a narrative based on motion detection, fragmenting the audience as they move yet, rendering the individual whole once they stop moving. An attempt to visualize the effects of grief on the human mind, constantly in anguish, constantly in stress yet, a single moment of acceptance brings stability to those emotions. An abstraction of human identity seen through technology.
