A Critic of Privacy Exchange in the Age of Gloablisation
Phones, PCs, Software... Today’s technology enables us to carry all of our pictures, and letters, every song and movie, and tools like calculator and translators. We have every piece of knowledge at our finger tips. However these only validates when a user approves an exchange of personal privacy. How does the concept of i-phone juxtapose ways we perceive domestic architecture?
The AI Suzie by Lauren McCathy explores an expansive and fragmentary narrative within her local community in New York, with vivid spatial relationship between a digital servant Suzie, who monitors the heath and safety condition of the old generation. The AI is utilized as a retrospective piece in critics of the side effect of globalisation that in the process of gaining convenience from the society and internet, there is an inevitable sacrifice of one’s privacy. Therefore, I conclude that sharing of personal information is key for an improvement of society. The project sets a experimental space, providing an advanced experience for the elderly generation, specially for those with Dementia. The design of double circulation between the (host) and servant allows the host to be monitored without being interrupted. In exchange of the heath care service, the host will expose his privacy selectively in different degrees to the servant.
