CORPOREALITY (of corporate reality)
CORPOREALITY (of corporate reality) by Martyna Marciniak and Nataša Vukajlović incorporates a visual essay and research summarized in a poem. Big statements about the future of automation and headlines such as »Data is the New Oil,« »AI is the Future of Work,« or »Welcome to the Age of AI Super Assistants« are thrown at us every day. While such statements convey the illusion of a more efficient, optimized and AI-regulated world, they abstract the factors underlying automation, including the material and physical dimensions. Using selected case studies, the »research poem« provides creative and provocative responses to this problem, methodically dissecting selected headlines to rethink AI in relation to the value of human labor, material resources, exploitation, and exhaustion.
