Friendly Fire at the Shrink

Manuel Flurin Hendry

Paulina Zybinska

What happens when you put an AI on the therapist's couch? Friendly Fire at the Shrink is a satirical installation about the promise of algorithmic care — and what happens when that promise is put under venture capital pressure. The piece sits at the intersection of live performance, machine learning, and the uneasy question of what we mean when we say a system understands us. A work about solutionism, vulnerability, and the strange intimacy that opens up between humans and systems that were never quite built for it.
