Verify You Are Human takes a sly yet apprehensive look between neurons, CPUs, and machines.
From CAPTCHA requests to AI slop to exhaust manifolds, the gap between biological and computational “minds” seems to be on a rubber band– contracting and expanding with accelerating fervor as the relationship becomes increasingly entangled.

Intermedia works by David Bird and Julie Zhu each at once postulate, declare, admonish, and beseech what the hell is going on and what the hell will happen next.

Verify You Are Human is both a frantic reestablishment of the brain’s supremacy and a capitulation to our fabricated world and silicon-based minders.
