1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,694 Monday morning, it is about 11 AM, I am in Ivry-sur-Seine 2 00:00:05,694 --> 00:00:07,480 and it is the first day of the project. 3 00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:14,200 I began the work with the environment for the individuals, 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:20,650 where the individuals will be born and evolve. 5 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,457 Here I have a rather basic desktop, with a computer and a screen 6 00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:32,720 and I am in front of quite a busy street in Ivry. 7 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,200 Monday afternoon, it is about 8 PM. 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,800 I just finished working on the environment 9 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,980 of the two artificial intelligences. 10 00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,080 I chose a view from the top 11 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,440 with impassable surrounding walls 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,440 and inside walls inspired by the shape of the place I am in 13 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,960 which has been designed by the architect Jean Renaudie 14 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,400 between 1970 and 1975. 15 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,340 I also chose something quite dark 16 00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:22,240 between black and white, maybe a bit of gray, 17 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160 those are adjustments I will do in the end, I think. 18 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720 That’s all, I will go to eat. 19 00:01:31,547 --> 00:01:37,706 Tuesday morning, 5:30 AM, I am going to take a break 20 00:01:37,706 --> 00:01:38,862 and I will sleep a bit. 21 00:01:40,562 --> 00:01:44,000 I achieved to make the brains work independently 22 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:51,939 I will continue tomorrow — well in few hours — to work on the optimisation 23 00:01:51,939 --> 00:02:03,675 of the individuals to try to master the learning process. 24 00:02:05,364 --> 00:02:09,926 So… I will lie alongside, down there, 25 00:02:12,196 --> 00:02:18,946 and spend a few hours of rest, so I can get back to work tomorrow. 26 00:02:23,521 --> 00:02:25,880 Tuesday morning, it is about 10 AM, 27 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:32,640 I am finishing the environment, which begins to take shape. 28 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:43,480 Here is a little demonstration showing the two evolving entities. 29 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,480 I’m starting to encounter performance issues 30 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:59,920 I underestimated the resources required by the twins. 31 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,600 I think I can solve this, or optimise it. 32 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,080 Tuesday, day 2, it is about 3 PM. 33 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:24,440 I am confused, I just finished the development side of the project 34 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,520 and I realize it is not the subject I wanted to conduct. 35 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,760 The subject is beyond, maybe a bit deeper, less technical. 36 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,000 It is the subject of the work that I’m discovering right now, 37 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,800 the work and the development time at the service of those two intelligent entities. 38 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,960 I have the feeling I have been manipulated to make this work, 39 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,200 I have the feeling this is not my work. 40 00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:05,760 I also have some kind of disappointment regarding the final result, 41 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,160 and if I extrapolated, I would even say I worked for Ogh and Jar 42 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,160 who are behind me, strolling, 43 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:23,840 and whom I should project with dignity in space. 44 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,600 That’s it, I will maybe rest a bit. 45 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,720 Tuesday, it is 10 PM, my project finishes in about twenty hours 46 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,360 I’ve spent the last five hours making graphic researches and producing some drawings. 47 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,720 And I finally understood what I am doing here 48 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000 and for whom I am working. 49 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,640 In fact, I’m working, since the beginning of the project, 50 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,480 on a conceptual exhibition for artificial intelligences, 51 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,720 probably the first of its kind. 52 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Wednesday, it is 5 PM and the restitution is quite imminent. 53 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:18,200 I just finished my work on the code finalization. 54 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,800 I also just produced more images and drawings 55 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:34,500 by manually superposing images coming from a database for neural networks. 56 00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:46,480 I also produced a text, about the relation between an author 57 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,160 and an artificial intelligence, in my case, Ogh and Jar. 58 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,080 This text is composed of six words 59 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,720 whose only the first characters are kept. 60 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,840 Those words can be possibly deducted 61 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,960 because of their context by an artificial intelligence 62 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,960 just like when we type in a search engine bar for example. 63 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,760 These words are way more difficult to deduce, at least for some words, by humans. 64 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,800 I think that in a near future, neural networks 65 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,880 and more generally artificial intelligence technologies 66 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,640 will allow machines to have a superior intelligence than human beings. 67 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:42,440 This is basically why I came to the production of pieces 68 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:49,200 that could be understandable by artificial intelligences. 69 00:06:49,200 --> 00:07:00,720 I asked myself what could be the access to an emotion 70 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,560 for machines through their own sensitivity. 71 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,160 I quickly realized that the forms it would lead to 72 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,600 are close to the forms of art for humans 73 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:21,080 simply because the machine’s culture is based on human’s, 74 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:27,360 and because learning mechanisms are quite similar as well, 75 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,480 although extremely more efficient in the case of artificial intelligence.
