As an artist and technophile, I am fascinated by the rise of AI wearables, these innovative small objects that integrate AI, such as Humane's 'Ai Pin', the Rewind pendant, Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and the Rabbit R1. Far from being mere gadgets, they herald the dawn of a new era where technology intertwines with our intuition, redefining our interaction with the digital world and our perception of space and body. We are witnessing a fundamental change, a metamorphosis of cyberspace, which, in the words of Jameson, becomes a "supplement of spatiality," freed from its physical constraints and transforming into a sea of pure information. These advancements raise crucial questions. With the ability of these devices to record and analyze our verbal interactions and beyond, we face a fundamental dilemma between convenience and privacy. Where do we draw the line between what is useful and what becomes intrusive? This essential question drives me, in my artistic and technical journey, to reflect on the redefinition of our ethical and social norms in a digitized world. These wearables symbolize a transition to a space dominated by the immaterial, thus freeing our interactions from physical limitations. They embody McKenna's idea that "our destiny is to become what we think, to see our thoughts become bodies and our bodies become thoughts," reflecting a future where being outside of space and time enriches our human experience rather than diminishing it. Observing these AI wearables, I notice the emergence of a new dynamic in our relationship with technology. The integration of AI eliminates frictions and simplifies our interactions, making these objects with their minimalist and sleek design much more than mere gadgets. They represent a significant advance towards a future where our interactions with our environment will be completely rethought. This transition invites us to consider a gradual reduction in our dependence on smartphones, promising a more harmonious and respectful integration of technology in our daily lives. However, it also raises essential ethical questions regarding the creation of digital doubles and the management of personal data, issues that must be addressed with caution and responsibility. In conclusion, these technological advances are not just an evolution; they are an invitation to reimagine our everyday life, where AI becomes a natural extension of our existence. And as Bjork rightly points out, "you can’t blame the computer if there is not soul in (electronic) music, it’s because nobody put it there." Therefore, it's up to us to breathe soul into these objects and new forms of interaction. It's an exciting opportunity to redefine our interaction with the world, where the boundaries between the physical and the digital blur, opening the door to unprecedented possibilities while respecting our private space and autonomy.
