Description
Summary:This investigation explores how the field of AI Art has turned to surveillance issues that make use of artificial intelligence. These surveillance technologies, which use computer vision, such as eye tracking, and advanced algorithmic decisions, have a significant impact on the privacy and control of subjectivities. We examine how artists criticize issues of surveillance in their artistic proposals, telling us about a surveillance that is both veiled and declared. Furthermore, we problematize such issues in a very particular way in the artwork CyberFaces (2023), by LabInter/Brazil. By highlighting the invasive nature of surveillance, our study emphasizes the role of art in forming a reflective understanding and openness to discussions about surveillance in contemporary society. Therefore, critically, this article leads us to think about operational systems and the functioning of AI technologies, their storage and sharing systems, and in the ambiguous dynamics of desired and explicit AI surveillance, and, often concomitantly, rejected and denied.
