PRE-CRIME CALCULATOR

PRE-CRIME CALCULATOR is an interactive experience that takes you to the world of predictive policing. How much of a potential suspect or a victim are you in the eyes of the system? And what are the areas in your city you should avoid in the next week, not to get involved in crime?

With the help of a pre-crime algorithm, the calculator evaluates the personal danger potential of users and determines the potential role they could play in a crime – as perpetrator or victim.

Michaela Pnacekova is a Slovak interactive creator, producer and a PhD candidate at York University, Toronto. Her focus lies in the ways new media impact the real through interaction with algorithmic processes and artificial intelligence. She co-produced the VR AI installation Chomsky vs. Chomsky: First Encounter, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2020. She is the author and producer of the interactive predictive policing app PRE-CRIME CALCULATOR. Since 2014, she has produced three feature length documentaries (BORDER CUT, WATERPROOF, SCARS) and two short fiction films, which have been shown internationally. She has received Special Mention at the Bosch Stiftung East European Co-Production Prize 2014, EWA Development Award 2017 and Golden Frog for Best Feminist Play in 2009.
