You are curious about any X object (X=pineapple, famous actor
Famous Celebrity, Avcılar 3+1 rental flat, etc.) for a moment and
click the link, read the content, leave the link, and you are done with
the content, but the artificial intelligence continues to remind you of
the object. Although it sometimes overwhelms some because of
these reminders, artificial intelligence is a skill of our century that
we use in many places without realizing it (using a simple search
engine, calculating the similarity ratio of our work, etc.).
Although it is a concept we have heard frequently in recent years,
the history of artificial intelligence applications dates back to the
middle of the last century. The exit point is stated that there are
machines produced during World War II the need to decipher
encrypted messages as soon as possible. Today, machines do not
only decipher encrypted messages (analysis), they can reach
many desired or undesired results based on the data (synthesis).
At this point, it seems that the goal is to get enough information
about the functions of the human brain.
One of the most essential functions of the human brain is the
cleaning of the traces left by the visual, auditory, or emotional
outputs of the events that take place in the middle of the day or
watch from the sidelines through dreams. If artificial intelligence
mimics the functions of the human brain, then can machines
dream? What did the dreams of machines look like?
Based on these questions, an artificial intelligence dream
experience on the dataset consisting of the digital archives of the
films shown throughout the history of the Alcazar Cinema are also
realized in the building where the Alcazar Cinema is located. Artist
Refik Anadol presents this experience in five different sections:
image, sound, space, scenario, and dreams. It goes without saying
that these elements are also components of our dreams. Moreover,
in this multimedia experience, there is a part that can change with
the effects of the participants’ movements, as well as the external
environment can interfere with our dreams (if we are cold, snowfall
in our dreams etc.).
As in the example above, digital art has become more visible on
event calendars lately. It seems that we will encounter such
activities frequently for a long time due to the interest was shown in this
art and the abundance of workable areas due to its relatively new
nature.
