At a time when artificial intelligence functions both as a system and as an environment, our choice appears clearer than ever. As if we no longer remember the fear we once felt toward artificial intelligence, we are coming to depend on it rapidly and deeply. We live by entrusting our choices and memories to AI. In this sense, we are no different from humans of the past who relied on oracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Labor of Prophecy is a machine that combines an oracular structure of speech with an AI-based predictive system. The work explores the external forces on which humans rely in moments of uncertain decision-making. To implement this oracular structure, the algorithm is built upon “ssaljeom”, a form of Korean divination using rice grains. The system collects real-time technical indicators from cryptocurrency markets and produces ritualistic or poetic divinations. It functions as an AI apparatus that delegates judgment to an uncertain prophetic authority, without fully understanding what kinds of biases such oracular predictions may imply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this work operates as an imperfect machine that reveals the structural similarities between the illusion inherent in divination and predictive systems based on artificial intelligence. At the same time, I expect it to function as an impure machine\u2014one that provokes ethical tension and psychological disturbance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this solo exhibition, I wanted to speak about people\u2019s blind trust in and dependence on artificial intelligence, as well as the fantasies concealed behind the name of objective analysis. Judgments about AI seem to change almost every week, yet at some point I began to feel that the ways people use AI are moving in a single direction. Like people in the past who relied on oracles, we are placing a kind of blind faith in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this exhibition, I wanted to add to this blind faith in AI the illusions we once projected onto and hoped for in virtual assets. The works in the exhibition are composed of numbers that scatter and gather like hallucinations, uncalculated figures that are broken down and difficult to perceive, calculated data disguised as analysis, and screens that, bound to divinations computed by machines, endlessly vomit forth oracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the five works are physically separate from one another, they operate like a factory conveyor belt, dividing labor in order to perform a single function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
