Silly Lamp: Study of a Relationship with Engaging Machine Learning Artefacts

Silly Lamp project strives to propose an alternative designerly approach towards Machine Learning and produce semi-abstract knowledge on the relationship that can be established between human and Machine Learning artefacts. Aiming to fill the gap between technology driven research with utility-focused application proposals heavily grounded in the tradition of computer science and the more recent work done from an artistic point of view, described Research through Design process works within the emerging Human-Centred Machine Learning field. In a series of design engagements and experiments, grounded in the present time and simple technology, the relationship between user and machine learning artefact in a home setting is explored, together with the established power relations and human role within the space opened by the design approach.
