Listen "J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Brea Souders"
Episode Synopsis
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 worldDislodging gendered social constructsCathartic spaces for non-conformityEnabling surpriseBeing bot-ified Originality aka going off scriptEvolution of a projectMemory vs past vs time without bordersEngaging archivesCollaborative editingMixing formatsMean playfulnessWomen being erased from technology history
