Conversations With A Computer (2008) || Daniel Everett

Daniel Everett

Artist’s statement:

Contained within the operating system of Mac computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program.

Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions.

I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely. These are three stills from our conversations
