How does Artificial Intelligence (AI) understand and interpret gender? That was the question on artist Karthik Kalyanaraman’s mind when he collaborated with his brother and AI to embark on an interpersonal journey to create “Strange Genders”. The human conception of gender identities more than often flows in the conventional representation of the male-female binary. AI, however, invisibilises the binaries. Speaking at a discussion about museums in the run-up to the second edition of the Bihar Museum Biennale, Kalyanaraman said, “When AI draws a human figure, there is only a certain percentage of a boy or girl in that image. The ‘strange gender’ in our art thus refers to the male and female.”
