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 artist Brea Souders and an early-days female AI chatbot, programmed by male developers. These conversations are interspersed with entries from Souders’ diary spanning two decades, and combined with photographs from her personal archive. Through her photographs and chatbot conversations, we step into a world of questions: about love, sexuality, death, disappointment, the sky, seeing, desire, and anxieties of the body. The result is a unique exploration of how a machine and a human can build a shared story from pieces of themselves. The project examines intersections between technology, intimacy, womanhood, and how personal meaning can be explored in the context of this new, AI-mediated world.
