Sunday 25 February

Brea Souders will be joining art writer Yuzu Murakami to discuss Another Online Pervert, a book derived from a series of conversations between artist Brea Souders and a female online chatbot. Within the space of their correspondence, dazzlingly surreal and poetic tangents are combined with the material realities of the bot and its connections to capitalism, the future of technology, and the slippery divide between being and non-being. The event will include a book signing.
