🐛 Process log

Defined brief

[ brief and visual references from the team ]

TOPIC(S)

• A visual depiction of “Where do AI systems come from?” / the Chain of Fuckery. Variables we’ll explore include:
  • Labour, capital, power
  • Algo input & algo outcomes
• Reference we discussed:
  • What’s the labor behind this micro AI-interaction?
  • Showcase humanity in equally complex ways as our algorithm systems
• ARCHIVE

VISUAL

• Illustration
• Vibrant and high(er) contrast color schemes, not too soft / pastel
• Move away from 'stick people' into relatable character / creature / protagonist. We’d like to move away from ‘flat’ depictions of people related to algo systems. We’re interested in bringing ‘real’ people so that viewer can relate / not relate to.

WHAT DOES GOOD / GREAT LOOK LIKE?

• Stock-imag-y
• Semi-self-explanatory
  • Clearly about AI
  • Figurative rather than abstract
• Vibrant colors (not too pastel-y)
• Could be modular / variable
