In A Cybernetic Doll’s House, Swedish artist Arvida Byström engages in a thought-provoking performance by interviewing Harmony, an AI-driven sex doll. This piece delves into our complex relationship with human-like creations, prompting reflection on society’s fears around advanced technology. These concerns are not new: the ancient myth of Pygmalion is about a sculptor who falls in love with his own creation, highlighting enduring anxieties about artificial beings supplanting reality. Byström's performance invites audiences to confront these timeless fears and consider the evolving dynamics between humans and machines.
