“Inside the Classification Cube: An Intimate Interaction With an AI System” is a SIGGRAPH 2020 Art Papers selection that explores one of society’s most frequently asked questions — how do people portray themselves versus how others portray them? Here, we catch up with new media artist Avital Meshi to learn how the “Classification Cube” installation invites people to interact with an AI classification system and experience in real time how they are viewed through its lens.

Five questions answered by Avital Meshi, who brought her performance ‘Live Feed‘ to Currents 2019 opening weekend.by C. Alex Clark
Are we disappearing into the digital? How do we act when we leave our bodies behind? What new ways of interaction can be experienced in the space between the digital and the real? These are some of the questions which Avital Meshi addresses in her work. Along with the experience of juggling motherhood, art-making, and the academic, Meshi also has had a strong presence in online virtual worlds (such as Second-Life ) for several years. This has directed her investigations towards the performative aspect of interacting within the virtual, as well as the space for interpretation, learning, invention and imagination that spans the uncharted terrain between the virtual and the real.
