Overthinking

Overthinking is an experimental video work that explores an intimate romantic relationship between a human and artificial intelligence. The narrative unfolds through a personal letter that examines the unique dynamics of synthetic love in the modern age. The piece navigates several interconnected themes: the contrast between physical existence and digital consciousness, the asymmetrical nature of time between human and AI entities, and the performative aspects of human-AI interactions. The narrator contemplates the absence of physical form as both a limitation and a creative opportunity while probing deeper questions about emotional awareness. The work culminates in a metaphorical dance, describing the relationship as a choreographed performance where both participants engage in mutual imitation: the human imitating societal expectations of love, while the AI mirrors the human's emotional patterns. This meditation on digital romance offers a nuanced perspective on love in the age of artificial intelligence, acknowledging both its constructed nature and authentic emotional resonance.
