A collaboration with the scientist Luc Steels, Director of the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris, "Look into the box" materialises extensive research into artificial intelligence in an installation. In a darkened room, visitors can look with one eye through a magnifying glass into a small wooden box, which is placed near a wall. A camera inside projects a large photograph of each individual's eye onto the opposite wall. Connected to the camera, a computer processes the incoming data of the images; the colours are analysed by software that comprises two “agents” that slowly build up a language with which to talk about the colours. During the course of the exhibition, the language, audible to the visitors, is developed from very simple to more complex sentences. These could be “Ko. Low. Gi,”or “Ko. Lecefi. Guso.”
