Dolphin Oracle IICreated by Piotr Szyhalski and Steve Dietz
American
2007
What do I see?
-I see a simple dolphin, inviting and cute you could say.
What does it reminds you of?
- This reminds me with interactive computer games.
What feelings-if any does it raise?
-When I first encountered this Dolphin.. about a year ago, I felt curiosity, excitement, only to raise frustration, aggravation and irritation.
What questions does it raise?
- Why is it so hard to have a conversation with this dolphin? And it's answers are sort of snotty and stuck up.
What can you synthesize from this as far as what the content is?
-This dolphin was meant for human interaction. It is certainly curious about how humans interact with each other, asking me if holding hands was considered a sign of affection.
My Thoughts.
After my first encounter with this in the Winter of 2008 during a Frida Kahlo exhibit. I was actually curious and excited to interact with this computer dolphin only to become frustrated, aggravated, and certainly irritated when the dolphin shied away from the question I asked or it would ask another one in return. Every time we cross paths, I give it a second chance, become even more upset with it.
