Computer, Hair
Persona/Computer transforms computer towers into sculptural figures with individualized hairstyles. Referencing hair as a marker of identity and self-expression, the work anthropomorphizes technologies that have long been part of domestic life. As artificial intelligence blurs the line between tool, companion, and agent, the work reflects on the emotional and cultural relationships we form with computing devices and how we project human qualities onto machines.
