Aiva

AIVA - AI, Artistry, Gender, Paradox

This bold animated documentary unveils the intriguing world of AIVA, a female humanoid AI artist created by a cis-male engineering team. Tasked with bringing a 'female perspective' to the art realm, AIVA delves deep into the nuances of the male physique, preparing to craft her magnum opus that dissects masculinity's myriad forms. But beneath this compelling narrative of creativity is a potent commentary on the historical sidelining of women in arts and the Western fixation with the "male genius." The film critiques the glaring absence of genuine female viewpoints in today's AI-driven world, showcasing a reality where even digital entities, like Siri or Alexa, bear a female semblance, yet are still subject to service and servitude.
