Overview
Join us for Lauren Lee McCarthy's Final Showcase Surrogate Performance, featuring her work over the course of her time as the 2022-23 HAI Visiting Artist. McCarthy's work examines how people are adapting to the prevalence of AI and the surveillance, automation, and algorithmic living it brings to our lives.
As Roe v. Wade is overturned and gene editing is opening entirely new reproductive futures, how do we think about bodily autonomy? What does kin mean as reproductive technologies shift our relationships? How much control should we have over a birthing person’s body, and over a life before it begins? Click here to read more about how McCarthy is exploring the human relationship with AI.
