Der Künstler Luke Munn spielt mit der Idee, was wäre wenn Alexa oder ein ähnliches Ding tatsächlich als Zeuge für Geschehnisse zugelassen wäre, ein Blick in unsere digitale Zukunft des “guten Leben” wie es sich die Nerds aus dem Silicon Valley vorstellen. http://lukemunn.com/monitor/
Recently police in Arkansas issued a warrant for Amazon Alexa data in connection with a suspected homicide. Though the request was denied, this artwork acts as if it was accepted, using ‘smart home’ notifications to extrapolate from the evening’s events: a few friends, a few drinks, a floating body. In doing so, it explores the data these objects might possess and anticipates some of the ways it might be both used and abused.
