Psyche treats human-machine interaction as a liminal, affective phenomenon rather than a purely technical matter. The show examines the uncanny and unsettling sensations that arise when humans surrender control to machines—particularly through concrete experiences like riding in autonomous vehicles—and considers what this surrender reveals about consciousness, agency, and the psychological boundary between human and artificial systems.
