A funeral, a wedding, a child’s birthday or an evening at the local shooting club – moments that should command our full attention. In his AI series “Nobody Noticed,” Det Kempke turns the familiar scenario on its head: while life unfolds right in front of them, his protagonists remain glued to their smartphones.
With plenty of dark humour, Kempke exaggerates an observation that has long become part of everyday life. Even grief, joy, togetherness or a crying birthday child can barely compete with the small screen in our hands. The deliberately staged scenes feel familiar and absurd at the same time – hitting precisely where it becomes uncomfortable.
“Nobody Noticed” is a biting AI work about attention in the digital age and the question of how much of what happens around us we actually still notice.
