This Person Is Not Me (2022)
This Person Is Not Me is an interactive mural featuring hundreds of similar portraits. All of them resemble the artist, but none of them are her. An AI system recognized the artist as its subject and generated original portraits in response to text prompts. The artist's face is shown in each image, but it is contextualized based on predetermined words. By exploring how her face appears under different prompts, the artist reveals the relationship between words and biopolitical structures and examines terms associated with different identities along with identity-related biases that are being systematically fed into AI models. The AR layer attached to each image invites viewers to reveal the words that created these images and to ponder their biases and misconceptions.
