Lauren Lee McCarthy is an LA-based artist examining social relationships in the midst of surveillance, automation, and algorithmic living. Her work spans performance, software, and installation — inviting viewers to remote-control her dates, be followed, welcome her in as a human smart home, or attend parties hosted by artificial intelligence.
She is the creator of p5.js, an open-source art and education platform that prioritizes access and diversity in learning to code. Her work has been exhibited internationally and supported by Creative Capital, United States Artists, Sundance, Eyebeam, LACMA, MASS MoCA, Pioneer Works, Stanford, NYU, and Ars Electronica.
