What happens to human connection when machines become part of our most intimate relationships?

ART VOICES opens its third season with conceptual artist Kevin Esherick, whose practice examines the evolving relationship between human experience, artificial intelligence, and artistic creation.

Beginning with Carol + Lucian, the inaugural acquisition of ART & VAULT’s VAULTED initiative, the conversation explores the changing nature of intimacy, the boundaries between human intention and machine agency, and what contemporary art can reveal about our increasingly complex relationships with technology.

What does it mean to form an emotional connection with something artificial? And how might these relationships change our understanding of what makes us human?
