Project 1: Conversations at the Intersection of the Personal and the Public
Throughout the first 5 weeks of this class you will explore ways of using conversation as a relational form of artistic process and as a collective form of expression. Using these socially engaged practices you will investigate the intersection between your own concerns and those of other people in the neighborhood surrounding PNCA.
Create a prop to instigate dialogue around your topic and spend time engaging in and documenting your interactions with people at your site.

Thoughts from Discussion
Do digital archives represent a person’s mind? Can these archives immortalize a person? What are the consequences of immortalizing someone’s personality?
What happens when a digital copy represents someone who has deceased? How can this affect the deceased’s relationships that were formed when they were living?
When the outer presentation is replicated, does it match the patterns of connections made inside the mind? How would a copy of someone gradually change over time? Would it be the same as the original person?
If the AI copy only understands relationships between people on a visual and lingual level, not an internal subconscious one, how will it’s decisions during interaction differ? Can an AI understand the metaphors present in one’s decisions of communication? Do we really speak our mind? If we do not fully understand our subconscious, how can we expect a machine to be capable of replicating it?
What kind of person do you think would form out of the data you have archived through your online presence? What would it be like to talk to a digital replica of a friend or relative? Do you think that you would notice the difference? If you did notice the difference, do you think your thoughts of the original person would change? Would you be able to separate your associations with the copy and the original? How would you begin to question the original relationship to the person?
What happens when these interactions go wrong? If the copy began to change your relationship to that person, do you think you would question whether it was fault of the AI, or a real severance of the connection you once had to the person?
What would it look like to interact with this AI copy? Where would the problems begin?
