Harajuku girls is an experimental podcast with real-time improvisatory mask theatre performance between AI chatbots and a human moderator disguised with AI voice generator and a custom mask. This is part of the project series where I engage with AI through a critical lens since 2022. In this project, I focus on the objectification, specifically of Asian American women by discussing topics such as media representation (Fook Mi and Fook Yu) and the Atlanta Spa Shootings with ChatGPT, Grok AI, and AI companion Ani (portrayed as a Gothic Lolita).

Recorded on December 3, 2025 at the Church Street Studio
