AI ZOO

AI ZOO is a mixed media installation that metaphorically frames artificial intelligence—both as a human creation and a product of technology—within the conceptual space of a "zoo." Inside a large transparent acrylic sphere, balloons of varying sizes represent the diffusion and training models of AI, visualizing its internal learning processes. The sphere serves simultaneously as a learning environment and a symbolic prison. Chains connecting the installation to physical computer hardware emphasize AI’s inescapable reliance on its material infrastructure.
Through screens embedded in the space, the audience observes the messages and behaviors of the AI, questioning whether the AI is aware of its own confinement. AI ZOO provokes philosophical reflection on dependency, control, and the illusion of autonomy in the era of accelerating technological advancement.
