Who is the real sinner - the subject in the mugshot, or you, the viewer? What makes someone look like a 'mug'? And why are some mugshots so seductive? These are the central questions explored in AI Creative Dave Feral's exhibition, Sinners
Who is the real sinner - the subject in the mugshot, or you, the viewer?
What makes someone look like a 'mug'? And why are some mugshots so alluring? These are the central questions explored in AI Creative Dave Feral's exhibition, Sinners, at Dark Gallery CPH.
Gallery visitors are challenged to distinguish between the innocent and the guilty from a wall of mugshots. Some of these images are generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), depicting people who do not even exist. How often are you deceived, and how effectively does artificial intelligence exploit our pre-conceived notions? The true stories behind the mugshots are revealed on your phone using Augmented Reality (AR) when you scan each image.
On the opposite wall, visitors are asked to identify which of the 'jailbirds' they find too sexy for their shirt. But will learning about their actual crimes, revealed by scanning the images, alter your attraction?
Beyond exploring how appearances shape our judgments-whether evoking attraction or repulsion-gallery visitors are invited to create their own mugshots. By tagging Dave in their social media post, they can enter a competition for a free AI workshop with Dave Feral.
Dark Gallery CPH is an artist-run photography gallery rooted in investigative experimentation and interactive storytelling
