Graduation project
Deepself
Shengkai Hsu
"We’re so used to looking at the unknown through Google Search."
WHAT
A future technology-rich democracy where artificial intelligence supplies us with information that is in our best interests, unlike today’s world where a handful of tech giants provide us with information that primarily serves their interests: profit.
WHY
In a world increasingly monopolised by tech companies, we are slowly relinquishing our ability to determine our preferred future. If technology is the new power, ShengKai Hsu asked, could we share this power equally in the future?
HOW
ShengKai created the ‘Deepself’ installation as a speculative scenario that encourages us to reflect on the present situation. Mirrors invite us to discover our core values and understand how they are shaped by technology.
