Me vs. You is a multichannel video installation that explores the complexities of queer intimacy through the critical appropriation of an artificial vision system.
The work processes wrestling footage through an AI network based on depth mapping, originally designed to separate bodies, and reconstructs it using a video diffusion process. Yet, instead of rendering distinct figures, the system produces unstable, shifting forms that merge and collide in a sensual choreography, disrupting any clear reading of the interaction. The piece exposes the perceptual limits of artificial intelligence in recognizing entangled bodies, challenging computational paradigms of classification and control. It reimagines machine vision as a tool for poetic ambiguity rather than precision. Positioned between experimental cinema and surveillance technology, Me vs. You proposes a shift in how emerging technologies can resist normative regimes of automated perception, suggesting more fluid and expansive ways of seeing.
