“Artist Stephanie Dinkins embarks on a “quest for friendship” with the humanoid android BINA48, turning her dialogues with this AI-powered chatbot into the seminal art project “Conversations with BINA48”, ‘an examination of the codification of social, cultural and future histories at the intersection of technology, race, gender and social equity.’”
