I like it when I see you in person because I know you’re not lying to me… like you do on the internet, is an interactive AI-powered artwork that reflects the current emotional expression of the people in front of it, using emojis. As you change your facial expression, the emojis on the artwork will change immediately, using a machine learning algorithm and 4K camera observing the people in front of the piece. The artwork users no internet connection and does not record any video feed, it is entirely self contained. The artwork was built for the atrium of Scope International Contemporary Art Show in Miami 2019. The piece is now on display as part of the MeLab exhibition on mental health in the FROST Museum of Science, Miami ANODISED ALUMINIUM EXTRUSION BLACK MIRRORED PLEXIGLASS ARCHITECTURAL GLASS COMMERCIAL LED QUAD CORE COMPUTER 4K LOW LIGHT CAMERA BUILT IN NEURAL NET AI PROCEDURAL PHYSICS ENGINE.

Thomas Webb (b.1991) is a London based new media artist that investigates unexplored applications of technologies as a method for visualising digital artwork in a physical space. Webb works with video game engines, custom-written physics applications and 3D rendering software to recreate themes inside the computer; Hand-building various electronic machines and inventions to re-interpret these virtual artworks into hyper-realistic four-dimensional artworks. Webb challenges the barrier between the viewer and technology used to display computer-generated artwork to create a seemingly technology-free consummation. Webb invented the digital infinity mirror; an innovation of the infinity mirror using high power commercial LED displays, custom-built computer hardware and architectural dielectric glass. This combination of materials realises his vision of a digital medium that shifts in 4-dimensions as a function of each viewers perspective. Inside his artworks, he questions the real-life scenarios and consequences created through our newly acquired, daily use of technology. Harnessing real-time data feeds from mortality statistics, stock market prices and social media feeds to juxtapose a reflection on ultimate contemporary life. He is often touching on themes of mental health, addiction, big data and control as a guinea pig of the internet revolution and asking questions about the various implications of its application on modern society. In 2019 he contributed to the group-show ‘link in bio’ at the Museum of Fine Arts, Leipzig, curated by Anika Meier. He showed a real-time emotion recognition neural net that recreates the viewers facial expression in emojis. He presented a similar body of work for a larger installation in the atrium of Scope international contempiorary art show in Miami Beach during Art Basel. He has contributed to a solo-show, “STRANGERS” (2018) which harnessed real-time data depicting mortality rates and mental health on social media. He is a long-standing artistic collaborator with fashion brand Valentino; Building multiple installations including a six-story monolith in Seoul, South Korea, a triptych motion tracking digital infinity mirror installation in Munich, an AI recognition installation during Art Basel Switzerland, and hologram installations in Tokyo, Japan and Dubai, UAE.
