Video collage, CRT-TVs, various fabrics
Missing comfort? Need intimacy? No problem! The M.I.A system is here for you! Humans can no longer go “M.I.A” and leave you hanging, as long as you’ve got the completely artificial heart of the M.I.A system!” This artworks explores the meaning of intimacy between humans and Artificial Intelligence, and how it has developed into a shell of what was once human emotion.
