In this week’s episode of Tomorrow Is The Problem, host Dr. Donna Honarpisheh sits down with media historian, theorist, and associate professor in culture and media studies at the New School, Deborah Levitt and artist Adam Putnam to explore the tense, evolving relationship between AI, the uncanny valley, and the body.
