Artist Statement

2019_ACT_Festival_FoodHack @ ISEA2019

Unhappy Circuit displays a live performance in which dishes are made based on recipes created by artificial intelligence (AI). To create a new recipe, AI learns from text data which contains people’s recipes. At the same time, the process of AI learning from data is being shown to the audience in the form of a visualized content with sounds. Looking at new dishes made of meat by AI, the audience is prompted to give a thought to our carnivorous culture.

  • Unhappy Circuit is a new media artist in Korea. Unhappy Circuit, with its focus on computer algorithm music, encompasses digital media experiment arts, science and engineering areas.
