Posted by: Rmna Rmna 1 year, 1 month ago
A new interactive documentary called "How Normal Am I" let's you experience how AI judges your face. It reveals how algorithms that score us on beauty, age, gender, emotion, body mass index, and even life expectancy are increasingly finding their way into society.

A new blog article by Analog to Connected for RE-FREAM project.
We are nearing the end of the first Re-FREAM grant, an opportunity for artists and designers to work together with scientists and technologists within a consortium of partners.

Since then, we explored many interesting possibilities until we were able to confidently narrow our wide research into the best choices for materials, techniques, and design.
