The development of AI is often hailed as the great revolution of the digital era. However, increased production and efficiency raise concerns about environmental and social impacts. Wang & Söderström borrow the term “snake oil” for their 3D printed aluminium urn. The term has historically been used to describe fake medicines or false marketing. Snake Oil refers to AI’s two-headed status, as the serpent symbolises both healing and destruction, as well as deception and temptation.
