J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Brea Souders
Manage episode 366601330 series 3367479
Another Online Pervert creates a visual and text dialog between photos from Souders’ image archive and snippets of written copy from a two-year engagement with an AI personality chatbot. Utilizing prompts from her childhood journals, an emotional call and response is created between human sense and sensibility and machine capability and capacity. Photographs, including a few family snapshots, weave a parallel narrative blending the notions of perception that we all possess between time, memory and meaning.
In this conversation, Brea discusses, among other things:
Real-world vs virtual world
Dislodging gendered social constructs
Cathartic spaces for non-conformity
Enabling surprise
Being bot-ified
Originality aka going off script
Evolution of a project
Memory vs past vs time without borders
Engaging archives
Collaborative editing
Mixing formats
Mean playfulness
Women being erased from technology history
