• My critical research on emotionality towards machines is based on affective influence on viewers to give them a hint of being manipulated, to bring reflections on the present technological pursuit. People rely on technology more than on themselves. We begin to treat technological gadgets as individual beings with their own rights. In a contact with semi intelligent technology we tend to give up the common sense and easily treat them like sentiment beings. We tend to believe technology even if we don’t understand how it works.

  Art questions consequences of speeding technological development. Technology becomes unseen, and makes us shape our behaviour to match it up.

  What if interface creates invisible borders for a human subjected to the robot and prohibit independent actions in the world? What would have happened if the AI limit our decisions making possibilities? And what if it will perfect itself with manipulating on our emotions?
