Human Response Exhibit
About the film: In 2022, artist Rich Tu lost his father Ricardo and began processing and documenting his grief through various conversational A.I. platforms, using his father’s obituary as the initial prompt. The film “Human Response” features a curated version of these intimate conversations where A.I. iterates on the his father’s life and is asked a series of questions that touch upon themes of loss, grief, immigration, joy, and catharsis. The otherworldly voice of A.I. was created using a voice avatar, interspersed with actual voicemails from Rich Tu’s father. The on-screen visuals consist of human-generated iconography and more than 170 unique typographic compositions (no A.I. was used in their design or animation).
