Tags
Captures the nascent stages of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), symbolizing the impending paradigm shift towards harmonious coexistence with advanced AI. This ready-made assembly—a smart baby stroller, intricately crafted from PC gaming components and AI-enhanced GPUs—epitomizes the Pre-Natal Genesis of AGI, highlighting the profound influence of such technologies on Generation Alpha, those born amidst the AI revolution. The robotic hands, delicately guiding the stroller, underscore our collective voyage into the AI epoch, while subtly emphasizing humanity's pivotal role in shaping AI's formative years.
Interpretation
A looping generative animation maps the transition from birth to Artificial General Intelligence, questioning the linearity of human development versus synthetic cognition. The work serves as a meditation on accelerationism, questioning what happens when machines not only mimic but complete the arc of human growth faster than we can comprehend. It engages with the idea that Gen Alpha is growing up in a reality fundamentally altered by AI, exploring the cognition gap emerging between generations—a generational digital divide.
