Que puis-je pour vous ? Exhibition by Lauren Lee McCarthy

Assuming various roles that are normally controlled by computers – a personal assistant to families or the elderly, smart home services – the artist obeys user commands and finds humanity where we least expect it. In one particularly intimate and engaging project, she invited couples wishing to have a child to monitor a fictitious pregnancy. From conception to delivery, the future parents have complete control over her body via an application she developed especially for this. Whether by substituting herself for the machine or inviting artificial intelligence into our daily lives – and even our love lives – the artist raises universal and questions about care, our relationship to others, and power.
