I'm Cam Smith, a Seattle-based new media artist whose work explores the way that governments and corporations use artificial intelligence for exploitation and control. I create immersive and interactive artwork that is both engaging and unsettling: guests enjoy my art but often find it a bit creepy and weird as they are forced to confront questions about consent, ownership, and control. In an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, my work offers a critical and informed perspective that pushes back against AI hype. As the American tech industry rises to dominate the political economy of the entire planet, I hope my body of artwork can serve as a tool for others to develop their own informed critical perspectives on the role of technology in society.
I teamed up with dissident AI scientist Myke Walton to write a zine: "AI Must Die". Read it for free!

I also sometimes create art that isn't themed around surveillance technology, like these Quipu.
I used to be a data scientist and I traveled to some odd places.
