419. Gretchen Andrew
In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde spoke with internationally recognized artist and former Googler Gretchen Andrew to unpack how AI and beauty filters are reshaping self-esteem, privacy, and identity. From her Facetune Portraits—oil paintings that make algorithmic edits visible—to museum acquisitions, Gretchen traced a path from Big Tech to the Whitney, revealing how design choices compress individuality and normalize a single “perfect” face. They discussed the psychology of filters and the mechanics behind her human–machine studio. Practical takeaways included: healthier tech habits, what transparency should look like, and how to reclaim your image online.
