20th Media Art Biennale WRO 2023
May 12, 2023
WRO Art Center, Wrocław, Polen
At the WRO Biennale 2023: Fungible Content in Wrocław, Poland, Nadja Verena Marcin’s #SOPHYGRAY was featured as an immersive installation with a live performance by dancers Dasha Bogdan and Sofiia Onishchenko.
This feminist audio bot app challenges gendered biases in virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri, offering users philosophical and humorous interactions informed by intersectional feminist perspectives. As users interact, they train and shape the bot, contributing to a growing knowledge base designed to challenge stereotypes.
Originally developed during the EMAP/EMARE residency at Onassis Stegi, #SOPHYGRAY is available as a mobile app and as part of exhibition installations. Its presentation at WRO was supported by grants from NEUSTART KULTUR, Stiftung Kunstfonds, and other cultural institutions.
