Cogito, ergo sum

Longread translated automatically

With the advent of artificial intelligence, a person began to lose his or her right to his or her identity in digital space. Generations using famous people and digital resurrection projects for various memorial and entertainment projects raise many ethical questions. The distinction between truth and lies became virtually impossible, and people often began to suspect dypfeuics where they did not exist and to believe what was far from the truth. One of the key ideas that shaped the scientific world view was the idea of Renee Descartes that the only thing that can be doubted is the act of doubt or thought itself. «I am thinking, therefore,» a more accurate translation, «I am thinking, therefore I am.» Without this fundamental characteristic, human existence is impossible. If mankind transfers the function of thinking to machine algorithms, does it continue to exist?

The project consists of one large prance (the cover file) of 1×2 metres, with a concept and a quote in a row as an expression. On the next wall, the main part is a projection with an interactive keyboard, as a font — letters with the artist’s body. The viewers can dial any text they want, regardless of the artist’s consent to what they’re gonna write. Russian and English-language layouts, numbers and puncture signs are available. On the evening of the opening, there is also a performance — a short text (1 sentence up to 5 words), the shape of which is taken by the artist, i.e. by writing with her own body and fabric, regardless of what is said or if there is a malfunction and random intermediate symbols.
