An Interview with ALEX
“An Interview with ALEX” (2020) is a 12-minute, guided, interactive experience that engages the participant in a job interview with ALEX, a powerful artificial intelligence HR employed by a speculative tech giant called “Open Mind Corporation.” Through a science-fiction lens, the experience reveals how AI, and the gamification of work can be used as subtle tools of control in the interest of those in power.
