Ever wondered what happens when your therapist is an algorithm? Art on the Couch. Algorithmic Therapy is a deep (and deeply funny) dive into the future of mental wellness, where digital data meets existential dread. We explore whether technology can truly heal us, or if it just gives us smarter, more optimized anxieties. Join us for this performative therapy session where we unpack the emotional baggage of the 21st century and ask: are we the ones using the algorithms, or are they using us to perfect their own coding? Prepare for an insightful, slightly unsettling, and entirely relatable session.
