Analytics and examination of the audience experience within Blast Theory works / AI integration into future Blast Theory artworks

研究问题将考虑人工智能技术如何支持互动艺术作品中的书面内容创作，以提高和理解观众参与度。随后对受众与应用程序交互的分析可以暴露出该技术的局限性，如果解决这些局限性，可以改善人机交互的质量、自主系统的信任以及个人数据和经验的共享。这一分析还有助于理解人们如何通过自主生成的书面交流来赋予数字交互意义和价值，并更好地开发自主系统。在艺术背景下使用人工智能的另一个目标是以批判性的方法研究技术，而不受商业驱动的决定的限制，并以开放的方式获得适当的艺术探索和观众互动的意外结果。这项研究旨在了解人类和人工智能聊天机器人在艺术环境中的对话动态，这种艺术环境可能会故意将对话置于不寻常的情况下，可能会让人感到不舒服，或者突出类似商业应用中通常被忽视的方面。由于艺术可以激励我们以不同的方式看待事物，并鼓励探索新的领域，因此我们的目标是传达艺术装置中嵌入的批判性信息，并从观众与艺术品的互动中了解更多关于技术的知识。这种对技术的批判性方法在一定程度上是几件BLAST理论艺术作品的基础，这些作品经常将现场和在线与观众互动结合在一起，调查非常私人和非常公共之间、直接物理体验和通过互联网和新技术进行的数字互动之间的紧张关系。

The research question will consider how artificial intelligence technologies support written content creation in interactive artworks to improve and understand audience engagement. The consequent analysis of the audience interaction with the application can expose limitations of the technology that, if addressed, can improve the quality of the human-computer interaction, the trust of autonomous systems and the sharing of personal data and experiences. This analysis can also help understand how people attach meaning and value to digital interactions with autonomously generated written communications and better develop autonomous systems. Another objective of using AI in an art context is to investigate the technology with a critical approach without the constraints of commercial driven decisions and with an openness of unexpected outcomes proper of art exploration and audience interaction. The research aims to understand the dynamics of conversation between a human and an artificial intelligence chatbot in an artistic context that might deliberately position the conversation in an unusual situation, perhaps not comfortable, or highlights aspects usually ignored in similar commercial applications. As art can inspire us to see things differently and encourage exploring new territories, the goal is to communicate a critical message embedded in the art installation and learn more about the technology from the audience interaction with the artwork. This critical approach to technology is partially the foundation of several Blast Theory artworks that often combine live and online engagement with their audience, investigating the tension between the very private and the very public, between direct physical experience and a digital interaction through the Internet and new technologies.
