accession

Accession is a collecting booth for an imaginary museum regulated entirely by AI. Visitors submit everyday items to the booth where they are photographed and subjected to a number of AI processes which describe and classify the objects submitted. Through the exhibition the digital collection grows but as it does so the AI management becomes more and more selective about what is and is not accepted, rejecting new items that are a poor fit for what is already there. Museum collections and AI classifiers rely on maintaining some form of status quo to make sense. A museum that collected anything would be a dumping ground with no identity, while AIs rely on training sets that have strong visual commonality. Both rely on a sense of sameness but both are subject to critical debates about diversity and representation. Accession explores this relationship by acting out a fictional but plausible scenario through commercially available AI technologies.

everywhere-i-have-never-been-except-there

Everywhere I have never been, except there uses a crowdsourced database of WiFi network names and their locations to combine, contort and degrade spaces connected by coincidence. The work examines signals from nearby smartphones probing them for their own spatial histories, told through records of past networks they have connected to. Instead of using this information as the basis of security attacks the work uses the resulting network of global locations to imagine new hybrid spaces brought together by shared network names. Map tiles from areas sharing WiFi network names are blended, so that features of satellites imagery generate digital artefacts: glitches; rhythms; and textures. Asymmetries of power produced by collaboratively produced databases, by cyber attacks, and by the skills held by individuals to operationalise them are sidelined in the pursuit of chance, of speculation and of new imaginary landscapes.

macroscope

macroscope-document-visualisation

Macroscope is a document visualisation tool and was developed with Martyn Dade-Robertson Newcastle University Architecture Landscape and Planning macroscope uses a physics system to map research documents so that similar documents cluster. Similarity is inferred by comparing results from a tfidf analysis. Top results from the analysis can be displayed and documents are searchable for the context of those results. The tool is intended to be a comparative and interactive search process and users can choose to compare documents to different text corpera to view the results under the “lenses” of different subject areas. macroscope was built in processing
