Bias Amplification - as a female Asian who’s lived at different parts of Europe for over ten years in my life, I’ve experienced both the privilege to travel, and the undervalued/ biased treatment because of the way I look, speak and behave. It is confirmed that historically underprivileged groups will experience biased treatment when AI collects from existing data. When I first heard it i reactively thought about moments in my life when I felt marginalised. + the immense speed of change AI has brought in my daily life already. I started drafting this animation from a third person’s perspective - a disproportional composition. But what if I look at it from the biased group’s pov instead? The feeling of something that cannot be crossed; the feeling of leaving very little trace comparing to my existence. The feeling of seeing the token Asian girl💆🏻‍♀️ Perhaps some would have the feeling of always getting the smaller pie? I decided to pair these ideas with colorful, seemingly positive visuals, because the world is still glamorous, and I love a cheerful song with sad lyrics. Commissioned by @googledeepmind for Visualising AI Big thanks to @adam.priester ‘a vex magic to conceal the pre-fractured softbody. Atm I forgot why typical applying welds didn’t fix it but Maestro Priester did it🥴 ———— Visualizing AI is an initiative by @googledeepmind & @google that aims to open up conversations around AI. Commissioning a diverse range of artists to create open source imagery, the project seeks to make AI more accessible to the general public. Visualizing AI explores the roles and responsibilities of the technology. It weighs up concerns and the societal benefits in a highly original collection of works by world-class creators. From the abstract to the literal, each image is an authentic representation of the artist’s take on AI. Available as part of an open-source library, the collection aims to shift dated perceptions of AI in order for everyone and anyone to have a say on the future of the technology. #houdini #bias #amplify #ai #agi #redshift @creativeboom #graphik #ArielLu

realized that I haven’t posted a chunk of my work for @googledeepmind under the concept Pioneer Responsibly. \ Here’s the one focusing on data labellers - a crucial workforce for the advancement of AI yet intentionally exploited. \ I wanted to visualize the mix of human traces in data. And the subjective selections that build seemingly objective technology. \ The visual is essentially a box. Like data labeller’s computer screen, like their boxy work environment, like machines that fuel AI. \ This box includes layers of traditional data viz + organic and intelligent movement. Yet those movements are repetitive. Like a laundry machine, mundane and operates daily. \ Research says this workforce has strong demographic relevance. On the other hand who decides what area of AI to advance is also heavily biased by the global social structure. I wanted to reflect that with colors of skin and blood🩸 / The visual is suppose to look pretty, like the exciting technology that will/is changing the future. Yet I’m so intrigued by what it hasn’t changed and might eventually amplify, especially ironic to those who help made it happen.

Process behind Layers of the Same World with @baghmeh ✨ From our collaboration for @taupe.online 2nd issue As above so Below It started from Raquel wanted to explore fresh ways of landscape creation, and I was into developing soft robotics motion. We thought we would combine the two and feed each other’s outputs into our own system. It was a constant exchange between the two of us - from feeding my models/ motion clips to drive Raquel’s landscape, to using her animated landscape back to my creatures as textures. So I aimed to reflect that by showing the connection in some of the images/ videos + some are the exploration process of my squishy wormy🐛 And a bit of google earth tour to have some fun! 。 。 #layers #world #bug #butt #organism #googleearthdiscoveries #houdini #redshift #kawaii #my #squishy#boiz #and #girlz #and #neuter #ArielLu

Finally have time to gather up a bit of a documentation for the weekend of my talk @forwardfestivals Berlin this year. I am very grateful for the invite and the friends/ people who lent their ears. The year before I was thinking to myself to do something different in 2024. And was thrilled to have this encouragement of making this talk personal. Special thanks to @baghmeh flying all the way from London and @cupatea21 @mellow.lulls for the sweet plant gift💕🎀🥰
