Who owns the bodily data?

What if body becomes the carrier of code?

Information derived from human-body; it’s movement, expressions, how it sounds as a dataset for AI interpretation and use.

What are the different dimensions of these interactions & interpretations?

Biological Dimension

body as a starting point
from human-in-the-loop to human-as-input approach
body no longer the subject but the source-interface-base for optimization

AI Dimension

bodily data: pose-expression analysis, sensor tracking, LLM, generative models for prediction
body not only recognized but also analyzed and interpreted
interaction by motion or stillness, small gestures or a gaze

Informational Dimension

gesture to prediction
figuring the patterns
motion as a trigger for actions in a system

Different Modalities

Study of Amazon’s AI systems

Visualisation of the Back-End Process

Follow one worker. Twelve hours. Countless algorithms.

Watch as AI systems track every movement, predict every break, and optimize every second of a warehouse shift. From biometric scanners at clock-in to predictive algorithms at clock-out – this visualization maps the invisible network of surveillance that transforms human labor into corporate data.

Each overlay reveals another layer of digital monitoring you never knew existed…
