“The Oracle” investigates the relationship humans develop with technologicaldevices. It is depicting screenshots of the most asked questions in search machines like
Google and ChatGPT in a series of paintings on paper and it investigates how the search
results confirm the digital guidance and the definition of emotions through verbal outcomes
(type of text, language, style).
In each painting, the act of asking the machine for guidance or emotional calibration reveals an almost sacred trust in the digital invisible authority. Through textual questions and answers, the work highlights the pursuit of a “correct” way to express feelings, suggesting that technology functions as a digital oracle, offering structured (yet sometimes unsealing) responses.
The words-texts or the intense fixation with the source of the answers, becomes a contemporary day to day fresh where the user’s intimate relationships blur into algorithmic prompts.
