https://lauren-mccarthy.com/ 

Lauren McCarthy is a Chinese-American artist who has created p5.js,"an open source programing language for learning creative expression through code online. Also, she promotes software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology-related field and to make these fields accessible to different communities."

She is involved in Performance Art, Installation Art, Artificial Intelligence, Programed computer-interaction. Through her art she develops social commentaries towards finding available tools to  improve human social interactions.

"My work is a critique of the simultaneous technological and social systems we are building around ourselves. What are the rules, what happens when we introduce glitches? I create performances inviting viewers to engage. To remote control my dates. To be followed. To welcome me in as their human smart home. To attend a party hosted by artificial intelligence. In these interactions, there is a reciprocal risk taking and vulnerability, as performer and audience are both challenged to relinquish control, both implicated...Situated in everyday life, my projects have real life consequences. We are reminded of an urgent need to find a sense of agency."

Voice In My Head, 2023, created with Kyle McDonald

An interactive artwork that "explores the potential for AI (ChatGPT) to listen and intervene in our social experience in real-time, augmenting our personality....Every thought in your head, literally your inner monologue, is enhanced by AI."

Generative Artists

Generative Art: "is a process of algorithmically generating new ideas, forms, shapes, colors and patterns. First, you create rules that provide boundaries for the creation process. Then, a computer follows those rules to produce new works on your behalf." Algorithm Art or Code Art or Procedural Art: "It is a step-by-step method of solving a problem. And it is one of the fundamental building blocks of computer science." https://aiartists.org/generative-art-design   Michael Hansmeyer Manolo Gamboa Naon Anders Hoff Katharina Brunner       https://katharinabrunner.de            / https://x.com/MSchories/status/1084766780701184000?s=2 Jon McCormack Brian Eno Roelof Pieters and Samim Winiger, co-founders of  https://creative.ai/ Fernando Ramallo Meatt Pearson Mark J.
