B R E A S O U D E R S | Another Online Pervert
Another Online Pervert (2021–2023) derives from a years-long series of conversations between Souders and an early, pre-ChatGPT female AI chatbot. These exchanges are interspersed with entries from Souders’ diary spanning two decades and paired with photographs from her personal archive. Through this intimate layering of text and image, we step into a world of questions: about love, sexuality, death, disappointment, seeing, desire, and the anxieties of the body. The result is a singular exploration of how a machine and a human can build a shared story from pieces of themselves.
Created in the years just before AI companionship entered the cultural mainstream, the work stands as a poignant record of a human–machine relationship, shaped by a feminist, diaristic, image-driven perspective. It anticipates a new era of emotional intimacy and existential inquiry mediated by artificial intelligence, while remaining grounded in personal experience. At its core, Another Online Pervert explores how connection, meaning, and identity are reshaped at the intersection of technology and the self.
