It Is Urgent That Progress Be Programmed

Summary

The installation It Is Urgent That Progress Be Programmed was imagined in the context of the gilets jaunes movement. The project randomly generates meaningless sentences, much like Pipotron. This program simultaneously uses internet news feeds and the viewer's emotional and facial recognition. A camera in the window detects viewers' emotions in order to generate an associated nonsensical sentence. The project was meant to reimagine the Grand Débat National, caricaturing the hollow words of politicians. The masks symbolize the protection that the gilets jaunes could have used against emotional recognition systems used by police to identify the crowd's threat level.
