Arvida Byström Instagram – My sculpture “Virgin Birth” from my show Cut The Cake at Dunkers.
Virgin Birth plays with the idea of the christian myth where god creates human in the image of him and we create machine learning and robots in the image of us. Of course there is also no need for intercourse to give birth to these sort of digital creatures. So I let a 3D print of my AI s3x doll Harmony give birth to a phone with an AI version of me.
It’s a bit inspired in a silly way by Zizek’s text “No Sex Please We’re Post Human” too.
Also a critic was upset that the phone out from the vagina looks like an assault and when people say things like this as a critique I sort of just feel like: that is an accurate description of what technology feels like today so…
