The project 'Chambers' examines the complex interrelationship between laboratory rats, wild rats and machine learning.
Within certain cultures and histories, rats are often despised and considered dangerous and harmful and are, therefore, killable. Conversely, in science laboratories, rats are one of the most popular subjects; they are considered useful, highly productive, and also killable. Machines, existing between humans and rats, play a crucial role in revealing their complex sociopolitical implications through categorizing and pattern making.
'Chambers' consists of 3 individual works, Bare Life(film), Arbitrary Radius Circle(3 channel video), and The Fall(Machine Learning generated moving image).
