About this film

Artist, filmmaker and researcher Gala Hernández López discussed AI companions and automated care work through the examples of the chatbot Replika and Blush, a dating app developed by the same parent company. Jumping from the archives of the early chatbot Eliza and the related 'Eliza effect' to Roland Barthes' A Lover's Discourse and Tiqqun's Theory of the Young Girl , the walk critically explored gendered historical and contemporary visual representations of AI addressing fundamental questions about the future of our intimate relationship with machines. Screen Walks is a series of live-streamed artist/researcher-led explorations of online spaces and artistic strategies designed to illuminate a thriving – often overlooked – digital cultural scene. A new online collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery , UK and Fotomuseum Winterthur , Switzerland.
