in SOMEONE, the viewers take upon themselves the role of an AI device, like Amazon Alexa, to virtually experience the lives of four groups of people. By having people conduct themselves from the standpoint of AI, the work attempts to bring about a critical visualization of the relationship between people and this technology, that has taken on such a pervasive and embodied presence in modern human life. Making appearances through sound and video, the residents address someone unseen to them to effectuate automated forms of everyday life. The intimacy with which people address this someone may approximate their relationships to those among close family members who greet them when they return home. Might such anthropomorphized interfaces, on the other hand, have the capacity to give rise to new relationships between people and technology? Who might it be that we are addressing? Who might this someone be? New questions such as these that have emerged in modern life are brought into sharp relief here.(TASAKA Hiroko)
