Crushing Humans

When we think we are just manipulating a bunch of data

Crushing Humans is an AI-generated video piece that confronts the unseen consequences of our algorithmic systems. It depicts hands manipulating human figures as if they were just data, rough, careless, and transactional.

This work reflects the disconnection between our abstract handling of data with Algorithm and its real impact on people’s lives. When we use AI to optimise tasks, we rarely consider the realities shaped by these actions. Crushing Humans makes visible this chain of causality.

What if the algorithm hid the consequences of our actions?
