Drive-Thru
Lauren Lee McCarthy

Lauren Lee McCarthy is developing a performance that will unfold in participants' cars, with an AI voice assistant providing geolocative and narrative direction. Taking place in Los Angeles, the work will explore themes of navigated risk assessment, control, and shifting boundaries. McCarthy’s project is called Drive-Thru.
