It's Mattresstronic 3000!

Sulkowicz is back as the centerpiece of a visual art exhibit at the Coagula Curatorial in Los Angeles. Titled “Self-Portrait,” the exhibit mostly features Sulkowicz herself standing on a pedestal and fielding questions from any visitors who stand on a pedestal opposite her. The exhibit also features a robot, specifically “Emmatron,” a “life-size ultra-realistic replica of Sulkowicz” that uses an iPad app to answer any questions Sulkowicz believes “objectify or fetishize” her. The questions that are sent to Emmatron mostly concern Sulkowicz’s mattress and the various questions emanating from it, according to Los Angeles Times art critic Sharon Mizota.

So, she talks to people who want to engage in a conversation but has the robot handle the questions that objectify or fetishize her. And this is notable because she didn't hire a press secretary to do the job?
 
Along with Sulkowicz herself and the Emmatron, the exhibition will also feature 20 smaller 3D-printed replicas of Sulkowicz dubbed “In-Action Figures,” which reflect “the widespread commodification and flattening of her image in the news and on the internet.”

She is ironically objectifying herself? So courageous.
