Embodied Manifestos
0 likes96 views
Embodied Manifestos are design artifacts that translate and exemplify abstract concepts and narratives surrounding a theme, like AI, into tangible designs. They aim to invite reflection and discussion from audiences in order to question dominant perspectives and advocate for alternative approaches. Examples show how Embodied Manifestos of AI can embody narratives of autonomy, anthropomorphism, privacy and reliability to negotiate meanings and generate new viewpoints for responsible AI design. Effective Embodied Manifestos make complex issues easy to experience and enable the generation of knowledge through audience engagement with the artifacts.

Mundane
concretisations
Artists are concerned with building artifacts that convey
complex meanings, often layering meanings, playing with
ambiguities and exploring the liminal region between opaque
mystery and interpretability. Thus, the [] concept de鍖ning
any particular AI-based artwork will be an interrelated set of
concerns, perhaps not fully explicable without documenting
the functioning of the piece itself.7
