Medea the Healer. Linda Werner

Linda Verner’s mirror computer screen installations based on the use of the special software utilising human data archives for determining of the human psycho-types shows her experimental and critical approach to new technologies from innovative artistic perspective. Her installation involves public participation and feedback, questioning our perception of machines and the influence of the new technologies on our lives. Her face recognition installations critically engage with algorithms  and robots that anonymously evaluate humans by measuring skills, intellect and abilities judging by physiognomic data: like the distance between facial features and shapes of the wrinkles. It’s common knowledge that the new technologies  AI and robots will determinin to an ever increasing scale our  future by transforming human-machine interface. Linda Werner’s works thematise this process. In the long run it’s up to each of us to decide if the human-psycho type of each of those who make the test developed by Linda Werner is true or false. But once algorithms are used on a larger scale by big companies while hiring or evaluating personnel or making other life important decisions the dilemma gets deeper raising more ethical questions at stake.
