Factory 4.0
2024 | HTML, MDWA, 2 Screens and 1 or more Mobiles
Factory 4.0 is a Multi-Device Web Artwork that employs the Dadaism-inspired Cut-up technique to explore the significance of semantics in the era of mass text generation. This project deconstructs GPT-4o-generated texts and repeatedly feeds them back into the GPT, creating an endless factory-like cycle.
Actively inviting the audience to participate using their own mobile devices, Factory 4.0 consists of three Javascript WebApp-based interactive channels.
1. Channel 1 (Mobile): Users input/speak text via a chat-app-like UI, prompting GPT-4o's responses. They are also invited to leave their phone within the installation, becoming an integral part of the artwork. 2. Channel 2 (Screen): The responses from Channel 1 are randomly cut into 2-6 word phrases and displayed on the screen (Cut-up Technique). These phrases are styled with arithmetic operations, with specific layouts and colours chosen by GPT-4o in real-time, creating a visually stimulating experience. 3. Channel 3 (Screen): The collaged words from Channel 2 are fed back into the user input (Channel 1) and six other chat-UIs, creating an endless cycle of text generation. This recursive loop intensifies the experience, creating a chaotic cacophony of fragmented meanings.
As the pace of text cut-up accelerates, audiences become increasingly immersed in an automatic cycle of generative fragmented meanings. As conversation topics across seven channels become increasingly homogenous, although algorithmically independent, they paradoxically present a mass generation of meaningless meanings and non-semantical semantics. In this dadaistic context, Factory 4.0 aims to present the factory of our era - the factory of mass-generated texts and data, within the age of Industry 4.0.

Jeanyoon Choi
Jeanyoon Choi (b. 1999) is a Korean computational artist and researcher. He designs and researches multi-device web artworks that reflect the complexity of contemporary socio-technological systems, including AI, algorithmic culture, and economic structures. By interconnecting mobile devices and screens, these artworks create provocatively interactive environments. To develop their conceptual foundations, he draws on art, philosophy, and his scientific background, then uses software engineering and design to translate these ideas into interactive experiences.
He holds a BS in Industrial Engineering from Seoul National University and an MA in Information Experience Design from the Royal College of Art, and is currently a PhD candidate at KAIST's Experience Design Lab (XD Lab). He has also taught Computational Design Practices in the Interaction Design Department at K-Arts (Korea National University of Arts). His work has been exhibited internationally at Ars Electronica, Istanbul Digital Arts Festival, IKLECTIK London, Centre Culturel Coréen, and KAIST Art Museum. His papers have been published in the proceedings of ACM DIS and in the Leonardo journal (MIT Press), and he has served as an academic reviewer for ACM TEI, NeurIPS Creative AI, and Digital Creativity.
