Presentation


Overview

Can we use technology to help us be more human? To smile more, to touch and to listen to each other? What if a computer could understand and make decisions about our social relationships better than we could ourselves? Would our interactions be improved by computationally determining what to do and say? What happens if we crowdsource our dating lives and actually find love? Lauren McCarthy describes her attempts to understand these questions through an artistic practice involving hacking, design and self-experimentation.
