Angel_F is a young artificial intelligence, a digital identity. When it was born, it became a living metaphor of our own lives, as they change in the digital era. Angel_F became a digital rights superstar, arriving at the United nations and touching the hearts and imaginations of millions of people.
Angel_F is the digital child of Derrick de Kerckhove and the Biodoll, the digital prostitute imagined by artist Franca Formenti.
Born as a spyware, the little artificial intelligence learns language by absorbing the content that thousands of people produce and browse on the Internet.
Angel_F is a metaphor of the mutations of human beings brought on by wide availability of digital technologies and networks, with impacts on the ways in which we perceive identity, sexuality, public and private spaces.
A book came out, narrating Angel_F’s story: you can find Angel_F on Amazon or you can download the book on the website.
