Always Learning

Always Learning, 2018, audio-video Sean Dockray

‘Always Learning’ stages a con­ver­sa­tion between three devices – an Amazon Echo, a Google Home Assis­tant, and an Apple Home­pod – about the philo­soph­i­cal, moral and polit­i­cal impli­ca­tions of net­worked machine lis­ten­ing (e.g. “What should I do when I over­hear a wrong­do­ing?”). 

Commissioned for Eavesdropping curated by James Parker and Joel Stern at Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne Australia.
