Chess Thinking Table

A series of works that explore the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you.

The Thinking Table is an interactive table with a built in chess board and an AI program that predicts the probable moves the player may be planning. As the computer ‘thinks’ of various moves, it sketches them out in colored lines on the board.

The Thinking Table, a work in progress, is a physical installation in which two people can play a game of chess. As they play, the table illuminates the board with thoughts of the future as seen by the artificial intelligence engine of the Thinking Machines. The board is both the arena in which the two players act, and a thought space in which their linked choices, deliberations and hostilities are made visible.
