three channel video installation
15 min looping
love me, love me bot is an immersive video series and installation that interrogates the complex interplay between automated technologies and human emotions. This project critically examines how the pursuit of technological “perfection” contrasts with the inherent imperfections that define the human experience. love me, love me bot explores universal themes of love, imperfection, and failure, questioning the value systems embedded within technological processes.
Using artificial intelligence techniques—such as Natural Language Generation and Real-Time Voice Cloning—and a vast dataset of lyrics from popular love songs, the installation produces generated lyrics and vocals that reflect a computer’s interpretation of love. These “performances” present an amalgam of human and machine, love and flaw, illuminating technology’s limited grasp of nuanced human emotions.
Existing within the binaries of perfection and imperfection, love me, love me bot responds to our evolving condition, where technology and humanity coexist in a dynamic, often ambivalent relationship. This work subverts conventional perceptions of technological “seamlessness” and “invisibility,” inviting audiences to question the subtle yet powerful ways in which automated systems shape our emotional landscapes.
