Artificial Mirror trains a neural network to respond emotionally with visual stimulants by smiling or frowning at the image so that it may learn from your human reaction. A social experiment that shows us what our society perceives to be good and bad, positive or negative. It also asks whether we can train neural networks to make ethical decisions on our behalf.
I designed the stand’s structure in order to support the interactive screens and the computational power required to drive the digital experiences. The open sides of the monolith serve a distinct purpose - a glimpse into the AI’s “brains”.
This project was in collaboration with Monique Grimord from MOBGEN.

The inside structure was created to house a computer and route all the necessary wires to the user-facing displays on the exterior.
