Digital Clone
Digital Clone is an audio-activated installation as an intervention for the speculative scenario in the year 2036. We will be living a life full of the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twin infrastructures, and 5G connection, which will become intimately integrated into our daily life via the internet. This project aims to provoke the awareness of digital privacy through our daily devices, which have been always listening to our day-to-day conversation to pick up useful keywords for ads dataset, for example, Google and Facebook. We are, at the same time, being updated to the ‘Digital Clone’ which tries to portray and approximate who we are in the form of digits, as if we are cloning different selves when using, interacting, or talking to personal devices.
The p5.js prototype below recognises the keywords from your conversation, which the keywords are extraxted from my instagram data.
Try to say a sentence composed with keywords listed in the ‘Ad Interests List.’ You have to allow the browser to access your microphone first. The black area will disply the keyword one by one as you speak. Give it a try & Have fun.
The p5 prototype can be opened here.
