The immersive experience utilizes visuals, sound, and architecture to engage viewers, prompting them to think critically about emotional labor, personhood, and AI as part of urban life. This installation, premiering at the Hammer Museum, extends Lawrence Lek's ongoing exploration of technology’s role in shaping human experiences in a digitized world.
The exhibition offers a chilling yet compelling reflection on the ethical entanglements of artificial intelligence and urban life.
