This reminds me of an artistic experiment that I heard of from Lauren McCarthy about how she went on a date and was streaming the entire date for people to watch, as well as giving her things to say/do. I believe they ended up marrying. I might have butchered the description as I couldn’t remember the exact details. I wonder what folks think of the comparison with this.
Yeah, when I discoverer her, I was in complete awe in so many ways, especially regarding the ethics of technology and the implications on society. I believe she has a show about cars some time this fall in California (I think) if you’re interested.
By the way, if you don’t mind, can you share a few words of how her works resonate with you? I’d love to know. No pressure.

This was also the plot of a Black Mirror episode. They did not end up marrying in that episode.
They did not
No marriage occurred.
Thank you for introducing me to Lauren McCarthy. I searched her up and her work really resonates with me.

Thanks for the info. As to why it resonated: Her focus on technology doesn’t seem distant and theoretical. It seems very human and intimate and real.
