Ep. 11: Take It To The Would Be (feat. Stephanie Dinkins)
What do killer robots, psychedelics and a woman named Susan Bennett have to do with artist, Stephanie Dinkins?\n\nWhen we talk about robots, the conversation is likely to be negative, if not downright dystopian. If you type \u201crobots are\u201d into google, the predictive text\u2014which is itself a form of artificial intelligence\u2014suggests \u201crobots are taking over,\u201d \u201crobots are coming,\u201d and \u201crobots are stealing our jobs.\u201d It also suggests, \u201crobots are people too.\u201d \n\nArtist Stephanie Dinkins found herself engaged in this very conversation with a robot by the name of Bina48, and it changed the trajectory of her artistic practice. Dinkins now finds herself presenting on artificial intelligence, race, and equity, often the lone artist in a room full of technologists.
