ai prison

hardware: Raspberry Pi, 10.1" display
software: LXTerminal.
dim: 23 x 15 x 0.6 cm
(2014)

The artwork is now part of the permanent collection of the BLITZ Contemporary Art Gallery in Malta
This artwork is also discussed in the following journal article:
Torre, G. (2017), `Expectations versus Reality of Arti cial Intelligence: using Art to Reflect on and Discuss some of the Ontological Issues.', Leonardo Art Journal (50:1)- MIT PRESS.

The aesthetics are generated by the result of a C++ program that repeatedly test for evidence of intentionality in computer programs. Evidences that, so far, have been quite predictably refuted. The code reads as:



#include
int main() {
int i;
while(i == 0) {
std::cout << i;
}
std::cout << "RUN!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
