\u201cA journalist finds himself in the woods.\u201d Marc Da Costa, a digital artist with a Ph.D. in anthropology, was speaking from the controls of an artificial intelligence-driven video installation at the Onassis Foundation\u2019s ONX Studio<\/a>, a high-tech media lab in the Olympic Tower in Midtown Manhattan. He was talking to the computer that runs this installation. About me.<\/p>\n

\u201cA huge fleet of food delivery bicycles appears,\u201d Da Costa continued, spinning a nonsense tale the A.I. would soon render onscreen. \u201cThe heavens open and a galactic, friendly being comes down with a scepter. Frank and the galactic being meet the delivery drivers and share a meal under the forest canopy. \u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n

Moments later, a fleet of food delivery bicycles did indeed appear on the three enormous video screens that surrounded us, the whole scene rendered in a charmingly nostalgic style suggestive of travel posters from a century ago. Attached to the handlebars of each bike was a wicker basket overflowing with bounty. The forest, though entirely computer-generated, looked green and inviting. The tale was narrated in dulcet tones by a seemingly Oxbridge-educated fembot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
