Visitors to a former church in the Italian city of Spoleto will encounter a mirror that uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition to build an otherworldly image of themselves. Italian design studio Ultravioletto created the Neural Mirror installation to give audiences a chance to contemplate the controversial technologies in an artistic setting. The ghostly, rainbow-coloured reflections viewers see of themselves are actually clouds of points generated through artificial intelligence. But at first glance, audiences experience the installation as a normal mirror, as it contains a mirrored film layered over OLED displays that reflects their image back at them. It is only after the facial recognition software has scanned and processed their presence -- decoding the subject's likely sex, age, race and emotional state -- that the viewer sees the AI's interpretation of them on the screen, obscuring the mirror. "Artificial intelligence extracts all of our behaviours in a shady way then transforms them into a form of wealth for corporations," Ultravioletto's art director Bruno Capezzuoli told Dezeen.
