The Simulacrum of Anthropomorphic Performance: An Interdisciplinary Enquiry into Digital Algorithms
The Simulacrum of Anthropomorphic Performance explores the intersection of human agency and algorithmic reliance through an
interdisciplinary artwork combining speculative fiction, sculpture, and interactive design.
Centered on Aegis, a biomechanical AI in a post-apocalyptic future, the project critiques present-day dependence on digital algorithms by inviting participants to engage with a grotesque survival quiz, where machine logic clashes with human intuition. Presented as an immersive installation, the work frames visitors as survivors negotiating trust in AI, mirroring contemporary tensions between convenience and autonomy. Through playful absurdity and sci-fi dystopia, the project prompts reflection on the erosion of human agency in an increasingly algorithmic world.
