DOOR and BOX

DOOR and BOX are two artworks of an ongoing series of works aiming to research and exposing some of the social and political impact of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and automation. These two projects use a computer vision system that predicts the interactor’s ethnicity, and change their behaviour depending on this prediction: the door is only unlocked if its user is white, the gumball machine delivers free candy only if its user is white.

The artworks showcase a possible use of computer vision making explicit the fact that every technological implantation crystallises a political worldview.
