Project “UpDate”
In 2023, the world became acquainted with the concept of a neural network. The Midjourney and ChatGPT apps burst into our lives. State Institute of Russian Language named after. A. S. Pushkin recognized “neural network” as the word of 2023 in Russia. In the UK, the Collins English Dictionary named AI (artificial intelligence) the word of the year, and the Cambridge Dictionary named the word hallucinate, which in the context of AI technologies is now translated as “to produce false information.”
As an artist myself, I use AI-based applications. But how safe is this for me as a creative person? At what point will my ideas become not mine, and instead of providing ordinary information, the neural network will already influence decision-making?
My project “UpDate” is a reflection on technology using a specific story as an example: the safety of AI for people through a girl’s ordinary day. My work is a film noir style that refers to moral ambiguity and the anxiety of an unknown future.
The word “UpDate” is a play on two words: date and update. How will our lives be renewed after a date with AI?
