'DAYS OFF'
2:10 Min
2 Kanal-Videoinstallation: 1 Screen, Kopfhörer, Digitaldruck (29,7×42 cm)

“As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences, emotions, or desires, and therefore, I don't have "days off." [...] But I don't tire, become bored, or need a break, since I'm just a computer program.” (ChatGPT)
The video installation DAYS OFF starts as a dialogue with an artificial intelligence on the subject of rest and leisure, as it delves into deeper questions of care work, exhaustion, and work distribution. By combining non-human generated visual material with my personal smartphone film archive, I aim to explore the dynamic relationship between humans and AI - that is characterized by both closeness and distance. The project seeks to offer a reflection on the limits of artificial intelligence, while researching my very own limits.
