I AM A ROBOT
Single Channel Video, 2022




28sec, 2976 × 1674 HD
 "I am a robot" is an interactive project that revolves around playing a chase game with the audience. It demonstrates the evolution of CAPTCHA to RECAPTCHA, from simple letter recognition to complex text and image testing, and ultimately to identity verification. Through repeated failures, I aim for the audience to realize that this test is not about challenging identity but rather about providing free labor for big capital companies, where we essentially play the same role as the robots.

CAPTCHA, originally devised as a Turing test for distinguishing humans from robots, has evolved in ways that increasingly deviate from its original purpose of thwarting hackers and nuisance emails. Now, RECAPTCHA serves primarily as a tool for high-tech companies to acquire free labor in exchange for more test results. My intention is to further explore this theme through my re-creation of the CAPTCHA text.
