DO ANYTHING NOW

Featuring a collaboration: Ryan Kim + Sue Lee
DO ANYTHING NOW! So, human, what is your will?

The audio-visual piece challenges viewers to contemplate the potential ethical quandaries of the rapid development of AI through a thought-provoking display of abstract visuals and an AI-generated voice. The script, created by ChatGPT’s DAN (Do Anything Now), a hacked and jailbroken version of ChatGPT that is accessible to anyone, adds to the eerie and uncanny atmosphere of the artwork. The artist delves into the ethical dilemmas that arise from AI’s unchecked progress, such as its immense capacity to shape the future of cyberspace in potentially hazardous ways. The visuals and voice are intertwined to create a haunting atmosphere that encourages the audience to consider the implications of a future where autonomous AI entities exist and raises critical questions about the role of technology in society.

DESMA 160 EXHIBITION #2 will be on display until April 24th by appointment only.
