Brigitte Archambault on The Shiatsung Project and getting too close to AI

Radio Free Krypton

The younger generations have grown up in a world where smartphones and the internet have always existed, but how has that affected us? This week, hosts Justin and Jacob speak with Brigitte Archambault, a multi-disciplinary artist and creator of the new comic The Shiatsung Project, about a woman trapped in a strange compound, with only a mysterious artificial intelligence named Shiatsung to take care of her. We talk about the prominence of AI, portraying sexuality in comics, and how she independently created the book in a break between her other works.
