My New media art practices on the edge of Internet of Behavior (IoB)
Interface Cultures lädt zum Gastvortrag von Diego Diaz.
Online on MS teams: teams.microsoft.com
In this talk, I will explore how my new media art practices challenge the notion of prediction and agency in the context of the Internet of Behavior (IoB). IoB is a term that describes the use of data and analytics to influence human behavior and decision-making. I will present some of my artworks that use machine learning to create experiences that question the role of machines and humans in shaping our future. I will also discuss the ethical and social implications of IoB and how art can offer alternative perspectives and possibilities.
