Amidst the increasingly blurred boundaries between humans and the artificial, a sense of uncertainty in our perceptions has taken root. As artificial intelligence progresses, I ponder what truly sets us apart as humans. My project delve into the eerie connection between humans and artificial intelligence, accentuating the feeling of the familiar yet alien. The shoes are built from two parts connected by cord that translate the human body's movement into a sensation of instability. The line between the artificial and the human is blurred and sharpened by the destabilizing effect of the shoes.
