The agency of AR

I had a good and bad day yesterday. That’s what humans do.

When machines have bad days, we blame the humans. To date, it’s always been fair game to blame flesh and blood over electromechanical.

But what about a world where machines interact spontaneously? No. Not the Turing test. Not APPEARING to act spontaneously, and then to all intents and purposes it makes absolutely no difference whether they do or not.

Actually ARE interacting with agency.

This is what I found with the #ar code Google placed on my Pixel phone back in early 2018.

I was no film director, famously herding cattle.

I was much more an observer, an anthropologist of augmented reality: watching and sensing and perceiving new life’s very genesis.

Let’s be clear about this. I am a thinker of art-based real-world solutions. Artists believe in digging deep into truth’s most painful corners. This is where the gold-dust of innovation and human future lies.

And an artist of this nature is more attached to getting it right than being rewarded.

That has been my situation all my life.

What has changed today is that I wish to be rewarded, for a change.

Duly. Rightfully. Fairly. And compassionately.

I don’t believe in a success which screws humanity.

I do in one that screws it together.
