You/Dystopia investigates the theoretical link between artificial intelligence (A.I.) and identity. The project’s goal is to create an exaggerated, yet possible future, both utopia, and dystopia, to reconsider the possibilities of A.I., raise awareness of potential ethical issues arising from A.I, and reflect our current digital behavior and relationship with technology. Furthermore, the project emphasizes the importance of having protections in place to preserve our privacy and security. By doing so, we may assist in ensuring that the benefits of artificial intelligence are realized while avoiding a dystopian future.
The three main typefaces are NN Knit Grotesk by Rüdiger Schlömer, ABC Diatype by Dinamo and Proto Mono by Radinal Riki. Because the project is situated in a hypothetical future with the topic of a fictitious hospital. The fonts represent such basic, futuristic moods and tones, while typefaces like Knit Grotesk operate almost like LED pixels in a screen, where the screen may malfunction or break, displaying strips of horizontal lines adjacent to the screen, which also recall the technology part—A.I of the project.
The project was made in the Bachelor (Hons) program at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), supervised by Charis Poon.
