A.I. Ball
Interactive Art
A.I. Ball addresses the emergence of artificial intelligence and the competing forces shaping its development and impact. Four match-ups of duelling microchips face off. They take turns to task each other with mathematical problems. While a chip is processing a problem, a steel ball drifts slowly towards it. If solved, the ball changes direction and it’s the other chip’s turn. The faster a problem is solved, the faster defence can switch to offence. If the ball reaches a chip, the game simply resets and starts over, locking the equally matched adversaries into an endless tug-a-war.
