Focusing thematically on concerns surrounding the rise of robotic carers, Let me fix you draws attention to the decreased humanism in care, ethical boundaries regarding who is cared for and how, as well as to whom the responsibility to repair and maintain falls. Taking the form of an ASMR video, the project asks us to reassess our relationship to that which requires care and maintenance, and to attend to what is present as holistically valuable rather than divisible and exploitable.

ASMR, as a rising form of online content, reduces the body to a gamifiable center of pleasure derived from sensory stimuli. Focusing thematically on concerns surrounding the rise of robotic carers, ‘Let me fix you’ draws attention to the decreased humanism in care, ethical boundaries regarding who is cared for and how, as well as to whom the responsibility to repair and maintain falls. Traditionally regarded as a female field, care and maintenance have been disregarded in portrayals of possible futures, preferring rather to dream of leaving behind a crumbling status quo to explore imagined vistas with space for endless expansion. ‘Let me fix you’ asks us to reassess our relationship to that which requires care and maintenance, and to attend to what is present as holistically valuable rather than divisible and exploitable.
