- Description
- Utopian Extraction consists of four works: a video with the same title, Ecosystem, Sisyphus Dataset, and installation work, Fresh Stone. Utopian Extraction is a 32-min documentary containing the field images of the vast sandy mountains created by the Four Major Rivers Project and the Saemangeum Haechangseoksan dug up to supply soil and stones for the land reclamation. Unmake Lab wandered around the sites, which took on similar shapes due to extraction and transformation processes, according to industrial needs where they collected broken stones.
Unmake Lab viewed the stones as media storing the history, journeys, and human desires from the “stone's point of view“ and constructed a dataset of the stone images. In order to increase the accuracy of AI learning, 25 stone images were amplified into 10,000 pieces of data through the preprocessing and data augmentation, which the artists call Sisyphus Dataset. Stones in the video Sisyphus Dataset and in Fresh Stone, which reflects in real-time the vision of artificial intelligence, are a metaphor that recognizes an anthropocentric narrative and technology designed to make human life more convenient, from a nonhuman point of view. In another video, Ecosystem, the artists appear as performers. As they change their gestures in various poses, the artificial intelligence perceives them as different objects, such as zebras or cushions. Unmake Lab pays attention to artificial intelligence's “novel“ potential to create completely new stories outside human cognitive systems.
