Human & Robot collaboration in science, art, and technology

Sougwen Chung is an internationally renowned multi-disciplinary artist and researcher, whose work explores the dynamics of humans and systems. A former research fellow at MIT’s Media Lab and a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration shares her perspective of technology not as a tool, but as a collaborator. Stemming from an understanding that the relationship between humans and their tools have changed. Digital tools are different from tools like a hammer, for instance. They are editable, fluid, distinctly fallible, or all the above. Screen-based tools change and receive updates in a way that physical ones do not. Think photoshop vs. a paintbrush.
