THE HUMAN ALGORITHM

The Human Algorithm is an immersive fever dream exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on human behavior and cognition. 

Maximalist in its approach, this work is crafted with generative AI tools, weaving its narrative through text sampling. Contemporary philosophers, scientists, and theorists are digitally replicated as interview subjects, with their voices and likenesses cloned. Narrated by a meta-human avatar, broken fragments of humanity’s literary classics are delivered. Serving as a prototype for an immersive video and sound experience, The Human Algorithm confronts the existential threat posed to humanity by the proliferation of AI. 



Created by Sarah-Jane Woulahan




This film is prototype for the development  towards a generative and interactive immersive video installation. Contact Sarah-Jane Woulahan on hello@sarahjanewoulahan.com regarding the project.
