Synopsis

Congratulations! You¡¯ve been selected as a validity rater for the datasets behind emotional AI technologies. Reenacting laboratory data collection processes, Welcome to Set invites viewers to behind the scenes of machine learning. This experimental documentary explores the body politics of emotion and suspicion within algorithmic security practices.

Director's Statement

Welcome to Set explores how algorithmic technologies for emotion recognition and deception detection are made. With massive amounts of clips of actors and experiment participants, algorithmic lie detectors are trained with laboratory footage where the computer scientist becomes the director. Reenacting these film/data sets, I encounter sighs after the cuts, shaking legs out of frames, and laughters outside studios—how genuine emotions escape the emotion data sets. This film observes and questions the artificiality of artificial intelligence.
