Spectator and spectacle: a small “horde” of humans explore the city with the help of AI in Remote Istanbul
It’s almost 6:30 pm on a warm summer evening in Istanbul. There’s yet another couple of hours before the sun will set. Young people between the ages of 25 to 45 are gathering at a leisurely pace in a small park in Kosuyolu on the Asian side, called Manolya Park. This is where their unusual adventure will begin.
This is not your usual guided tour of Istanbul that drones on with comments about historical monuments to your left and your right. This is a guided tour aided by Rachel , a disembodied female AI voice, and later by Peter , a disembodied male AI voice. Dogan says she enjoyed the AI switching genders towards the end, from Rachel to Peter, but that she felt the change should have happened earlier. Buyukkalkan notes that just as the horde was becoming a singular entity, which came late as the horde members did not speak with each other or communicate in other ways, it was broken up by the AI on purpose, which was intriguing.began in 2013, Buse Yildirim, the Culture and Arts Director of Beykoz Kundura, tells.
Yildirim notes that the creation process of Remote Istanbul was challenging, that she and the German team of producers ended up walking for kilometres in a week and trying to find a suitable path for participants, going through options that even she did not know as a resident. Then they got permission from local authorities.,’' Yildirim notes. “You become even more aware of it during the tour, as you walk through the city.
“AI is steeped deep in our lives without us noticing,” Yildirim explains, adding that she is speaking not as a technology expert but as an end user. “We lead a life determined by algorithms, it has gone beyond AI making our lives easier. I am curious as to how it will evolve and turn into something else.”
