What's on your mind, user?

This project is part of the CATS+ 1.0 program and ran from April to September 2022.

About

Celine Lassus and Mark Yoder’s video game What’s on your mind, user? takes us deep into a social network fever dream, scrutinizing how the structure and design of social sites (from Facebook to 4chan) influence the group behaviors, language, and aesthetic preferences of their users.

Workshop

Memes and Machines

AI. Memes. HTML. Buffoonery. Come goof around at this workshop where artists Celine Lassus and Mark Yoder will walk you through the process of using AI art generators to create memes and word soup. Then using these elements, participants will be introduced to the basics of creating a website and destroying it on purpose.

Bring a laptop, if you have one. If you need to borrow one, we'll have some available.

Exhibition

Are UXperienced

09.24.22–10.01.22

The experiment is to push back on technology. The experience is the Collaborative Art + Technology Situation (CATS+), a new program at The Museum of Human Achievement which pairs artists and tech wizards to collaborate on projects and share their processes. are UXperienced? is an invitation to get curious, start conversations, dig into artists’ processes, and get excited about making our own systems (or just making our own memes 😜 ).

Artist Bios

Celine Lassus (b. 1999, Tampa, FL) (she/they) is a digital native first, artist second. Based in Austin, TX, they work across new media, performance, video and installation. Her practice reflects on the promise of a technological utopia and how terribly they’ve been let down. celinelassus.com

Mark Yoder (b.1999) is a retired micro celebrity, designer, and artist based in Los Angeles. When he's not doomscrolling on TikTok, you can find him somewhere stuck at the intersection of art and technology. @markyoder.designs
