Social Turkers

Lauren Lee McCarthy

(Verenigde Staten)
2013 – Video – 1 minuut en 49 seconde

Lauren Lee McCarthy is een kunstenaar die sociale relaties onderzoekt in een tijd van surveillance, automatisering en algoritmisch leven. Voor Social Turkers had Lauren Lee McCarthy dates met 20 mensen die ze had ontmoet op de dating-site OkCupid.

Ze gebruikte haar telefoon om deze dates online te streamen en huurde mensen in die op afstand via de Amazon Mechanical Turk-site toekeken naar wat er gebeurde en haar zeiden wat ze moest doen of zeggen. Ze kreeg deze aanwijzingen in sms’jes en moest ze direct uitvoeren. Hoe zou het zijn als we real-time feedback zouden krijgen over onze sociale interactie? Zouden derden beter geschikt zijn om voor de betrokken partijen te interpreteren wat er gebeurt en beslissingen te nemen? Zou ons dit meer bewust maken in onze relaties, normale patronen doen veranderen en open doen staan voor onverwachte mogelijkheden?
