Sense Error: An Experiment on Machine Perception
感官错误:一次关于机器感知的实验


Medium: Multimedia video
Venue / Year: 2025 - On going

This project is a sensory co-creation experiment with AI. Together, we set three progressive goals—from everyday sensations to contradictory perceptions, and finally to cross-sensory imagination. Through dialogues of keywords, image generation, and iterative revisions, we explored the question of machine perception. The experiment revealed the boundaries of AI’s sensory logic: it can imitate feeling, yet remains confined by social conventions and experiential norms, rejecting irrational combinations and sensory contradictions. The work reflects on a larger question—when algorithms define what is reasonable to feel, how free can human sensory imagination still be?
