In the dawn of artificial intelligence, Claudia Starkey’s ‘Love Machine’ series offers a unique glimpse into the early soul-searching of AI, exploring its embryonic attempts to mirror human emotion and companionship. Through the lens of retro robotic figures created with the first generation of artificial intelligence, Starkey delves into the intricate dance between AI and human romanticism, questioning the essence of love and intimacy in a digital age. This exhibition is not just a commentary on AI’s pioneering steps; it’s a contemplation on the blurred lines between machine and human emotion, inviting viewers to ponder the future of love in a world increasingly intertwined with technology. As we stand on the brink of AI’s evolution, ‘Love Machine’ serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity amidst the rapid advancements of digital intelligence.
