Crowdsource your social interactions by bringing a group of your friends or strangers along to listen in and assist you in any situation.
This app and its previous iteration as Social Turkers again feel like something straight out of a dystopian world. Why are we letting strangers and other people weigh directly in on our social interactions at the moment? It feels like there is a level of disingenuine-ness. You’re not talking to one person but a person and a group of others guiding them through. Also, I think it’s great. Why not use a technology as a real-time interaction tool to guide us through social situations? What’s the difference between this and texting a friend under the table at dinner asking for advice? Lauren’s projects always have me thinking about the ethics of technology and the boundaries of privacy. Black Mirror Episode Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYQSVODWo1I
