Happiness Mirror

2023
Two-way mirror, AI software, camera, thermal printer and Raspberry Pi
70 × 70 × 10 cm

A mirror that predicts the greatest happiness you will reach in your lifetime. You stand in front of it, look at your reflection and press the button; a few seconds later the result comes out on a receipt. The prediction depends on how much or how little you resemble what the algorithm takes to be a man. The work grew out of a conversation with GPT-3, which stated that women never get to be as happy as men because of the discrimination they face. The receipt fades with time.
