James Georgopoulos "Weight Watcher"
This video sculpture is a vintage 1940’s refrigerator, by artist James Georgopoulos, retrofitted with a closed circuit video system (from an ex-government building), coldly depositing the viewer onto a screen within the appliance
Inspired by today’s advanced refrigerators, now manufactured with basic artificial intelligence. The front mounted camera is made to make the viewer feel as if they’re being watched, their choices evaluated, as AI will further advance to learn about your habits and assist you.
