The AI Shift: Redefining Labor, Art, and Our Place in the World
Stepping into an art gallery, imagine encountering a robot that hums softly, gliding along walls to draw vertical lines. These lines change in size, growing longer when more people are in the room. This isn't just a quirky art piece; it's Sabrina Raaf’s "Translator II: Grower" (2004–2006), an automated robot that records carbon dioxide levels, transforming environmental data into green and brown "grass fields." It’s a powerful, subtle commentary on our relationship with nature and the evolving definition of human labor, especially as artificial intelligence and machine learning increasingly shape our world.
