Ai Weiwei poses 81 questions to Artificial Intelligence.
It is the new 'Ai vs AI' project
NOW IN MILAN
With 'Ai vs AI', established Chinese artist Ai Weiwei poses 81 questions to artificial intelligence via a network spanning the world's largest cities. The new project reaches the public screens of cities around the world, using AI to ask existential and political questions. In Italy, it will be visible in Milan, in Piazzale Cadorna.
Ai Weiwei's Questions to Artificial Intelligence
The questions included in the project are over 3000 years old, attributed to the Chinese poet Qu Yuan and engraved on the walls of the ancestral temple of Chu. The questions will appear on public screens around the world - London, Seoul, Milan (in Piazzale Cadorna, Luxottica's headquarters), Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Abidjan and Berlin - from 11 January to 31 March, every day at 8.24 pm (local time). In total, the screens will light up for 81 days, the same amount of time that Ai Weiwei, the well-known activist and dissident, spent in a Chinese prison in 2011 on charges of tax evasion (which in fact concealed an attempt to limit and censor his political engagement).
