Octavian Mot
Daniela Nedovescu and Octavian Mot, collectively known as mots, are two Romanian filmmakers and transdisciplinary artists working together for over a decade and currently residing in Germany. They write and produce a variety of creative projects, ranging from multimedia installations to web series and films exploring the irony of human behavior.
Despite most of their work being films or projects related to moving pictures, they occasionally enjoy rolling up their sleeves to build things in their workshop. These creations are usually machines designed to engage participants and prompt reflection on their own behavior.

Mots: AI + Me
AI and Me, a multi-piece installation by the artist duo mots (Daniela Nedovescu and Octavian Mot), was initially designed to reflect on human biases by allowing machines to express raw opinions about those in front of them. In this talk, Octavian tries to unpack how, after the first exhibition, the original intention turned into an unexpected exploration of why we let AI judge us, and the curious dynamics that unfold in one-on-one interactions between humans and brutally honest machines.
