Perception of War: AI Data Universe

Abstract

Perception of War is a data art that visualizes human perception data about the Ukraine-Russia war by replacing it with emotions through artificial intelligence technology. Data are collected from SNS media that relay human perception by replacing it with a message. 60,000 images, texts, and latitude data tagged with the Ukraine-Russia War were collected, and the perception inherent in each data was analyzed and classified as emotions through artificial intelligence technology. Each emotion is given a unique visual tactility function such as color, pattern, and texture, and is expressed towards the Ukraine latitude. The human perception left behind in Ukraine is in an aesthetically fascinating and somewhat bizarre form. This is a means of exploring the fragments of war left in the present and in the future, and presents a discourse about heterogeneity in the definition of war.
