SYNOPSIS

Ellie¡¯s Eye is a video essay composed of found and original footage. Ellie is the name of an AI therapist in development at the time of writing, as well as the name of one of the dogs featured in the work.

PROGRAM NOTE

Ellie¡¯s Eye is an essay video comprising 25 notes that contemplates the human subject via visual technologies – x-rays that create medial scans related to the human desire to see through even human finitude, through-wall movement sensing which is projected with a desire to implement the whole rational world, and AI-assisted psychotherapy to save and manage data by measuring subjective mental conditions beyond the objective world – is heading to human infinity by using all kind of cultural forms (important physical familiarity). Now, people do not hesitate not only at objectifying the whole world but also self-objectifying that visualizes even their private parts. Visual objects and machines produce our knowledge, belief, and meanings and have already become our world. Ellie¡¯s Eye stays around us and stares in the most familiar way. [KIM Sookhyun]
