Sarah-Jane Woulahan

After her father destroys her prototype 'Soulmate' robot, a replacement for her dead mother, a roboticist, Olivia, questions her fundamental belief in a world without suffering and the nature of love.

After splitting up with her partner, a young mother externalises her feelings of loss and resentment through the family’s possessions.

The Human Algorithm is an immersive fever dream exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on human behavior and cognition. Maximalist in its approach, this work is crafted with generative AI tools, weaving its narrative through text sampling. Contemporary philosophers, scientists, and theorists are digitally replicated as interview subjects, with their voices and likenesses cloned. Narrated by a meta-human avatar, broken fragments of humanity's literary classics are delivered. Serving as a prototype for an immersive video and sound experience, The Human Algorithm confronts the existential threat posed to humanity by the proliferation of AI.
