A lecture by Emilie St-Hilaire (Concordia University), followed by a conversation with Freyja Hartzell (BGC)
From sex dolls to dementia care therapy, dolls are increasingly used for companionship and comfort, and they have been shown to produce positive affective states that can be healing and enjoyable. In this lecture, multidisciplinary artist and scholar Emilie St-Hilaire explores a number of interactions between human-like dolls and human beings to reframe such synthetic relationships as a contemporary form of Pygmalionism.
Wednesday, November 9, 6 pm
