electroscape.org is a platform set up by fabric | ch to conduct experiments on contemporary space. electroscape.org is an open and ongoing project/playground, where different modes of creation can be experimented. (...) Electroscape 004: A.I. vs A.I. // in self-space // what happens if two A.I./chat bots talk together? What happens if, in addition, it is the same "brain" that drives the two different hardware (two game consoles in this case)? In this context of duplicated or multiplied identity, will they fool themselves and think about the other as a human? Will they discover they are machines? Or will they simply get mad or become subject to schizophrenia? (...) electroscape 004 develops these questions and sets up a kind of auto-logical and self reflexive environment (A.I. to A.I., PS2 to XBOX, self-spaces) where users or visitors are placed in the fringe, in a relatively passive and frustrating posture, where no obvious relation is possible with these however highly interaction appealing machines. This user experience remains limited to witness the two game consoles interacting and playing with each other, to listen to their endless chat that held within this nearly auto-constructed space.

In addition, the discussion of the two A.I. can be followed from distant location as well (call +4179-2893000 to listen). Their space is therefore not only static and material, located, but does exist in the 935MHz communication wave length where the bots will consider you as entering their space as well.

Why do I blog this? I like this idea of AI versus AI with a human as a witness.
