Artificial Intelligence, ultra-human, posthumanism, monolithAbstract
Since the term Artificial Intelligence or AI was first defined by John McCarthy in 1956, based on the earlier work of the English mathematician Alan Turing, thinking machines have evolved significantly. Creative AIs, capable of learning as a human being would, are not fiction and are part of our daily lives. We live in a world where technology is omnipresent and omniscient, with a constant flow of data travelling through the network as the most valuable asset that man, or machine, can possess. Technology is so commonplace that our perception of it has become a kind of religious question, an existential dependence on totemic worship. This photographic project addresses these questions of an ontological nature, taking as its starting point a short story by Frederic Brown. Based on a review of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and the ideas of Friederich Nietzsche, we reflect on the nature of AI and its evolution into the Übermensch to which posthumanism is leading us.
