Decoder是一部由AI生成的视听作品，研究亲密关系中，信息接收随着关系转变的细微差别。
在亲密关系中，信息流通常会随着亲密关系的深度而变化，就像波动的水流一样。习惯化理论认为，随着时间的推移，伴侣之间可能会逐渐习惯对方，以至于忽略情感需求，这是一种由感官适应产生的现象。这种逐渐的转变与恋爱初期形成了鲜明的对比，在恋爱初期，每一次交流都被赋予了更高的意义。
与这种精神相呼应，该作品由实时音频变异自动编码器表达，并伴有人工智能生成的动态图形。参与者受邀与人工智能 "爱人 "互动，解读人工智能传达的信息。
Mirroring humans’ emotional fluctuations and uncertainty in intimate relationships, ‘Decoder’ utilises various AI tools to present a breakup letter with a flux of audio-visual compositions that morph between the poles of clarity and ambiguity. It is an attempt to decode intimacy through the lens of machine precision, inviting viewers to ponder the nuances of their communicative methods and the consequential impacts on their partners.
Relationship dynamics suggest that intimacy is an intricate interplay of behaviours, communication patterns, and emotional exchanges, deeply influenced by interactions between partners. In this intimate connection, information exchange is a continually evolving entity shaped by the unique personalities, backgrounds, and emotional needs of the partners involved, rather than a stable process that can always be logically assessed. This fluidity often obscures the authenticity of expressions, affected at times by the sway of emotions, leading to a scenario where expression and comprehension are perpetually misaligned, breeding conflict.
In response to this fluctuation, ‘Decoder’ uses AI, whose models are trained on a diverse array of human interactions, to reinterpret the emotional nuances in a breakup letter. The content is expressed by a real-time audio variational autoencoder and enriched with moving images generated from textual prompts, creating a dreamcore-like ambiance that guides the audience through the fragmented recollections of the narrative.
‘Decoder’ is an endeavour to acknowledge and reflect upon the complexities and subtleties of human relationships and communication in a technologically mediated world. We seek to illuminate the interplay between human emotion and AI interpretation, pose questions about the nature of understanding within intimate bonds, and provide a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our closest connections.
