“Megan Young: Charting the Course” is an interactive installation that maps the complexity of inherited histories. Viewers talk with Carry, a custom AI StoryCatcher, to hear the multifaceted experiences of women impacted by migration and displacement. She invites them to contribute their own stories, too. The project explores the intersections of AI technology, digital heritage, and our dreams for the future.
