Lauren Lee McCarthy is an artist examining social relationships in the midst of surveillance, automation, and algorithmic living. In this work, she examines ownership of and autonomy over bodily substances.
We have now been trained to regularly swab, spit, and give up ownership of our bodily substances to corporations and government-run centers.

Can we take saliva exchange back into our own hands?"
