Lauren Lee McCarthy For Social Turkers<\/em>, McCarthy went on twenty dates with people she met on an online dating site called OkCupid, and used her phone to stream these dates online. She paid remote workers on a site called Amazon Mechanical Turk to watch in real time and send her directions via text message on what to do or say next, which she had to perform immediately. What if we could receive real-time feedback on our social interactions? What happens when we outsource the management of our personal lives to a software? Could this make us more aware in our relationships, shift shake us out of normal patterns and open us to unexpected possibilities?<\/p>\n Lauren Lee McCarthy works with performance, software, internet, film, photography, and installation to examine social relationships in the era of surveillance, automation, and algorithmic living. She explores the ways we are taught to interact with algorithms, and how this shapes the way we interact with each other. Central to her work is a critique of the simultaneous technological and social systems we\u2019re building around ourselves.<\/p>\n Biography<\/p>\n Lauren Lee McCarthy graduated from MIT with a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Art and Design.
