Teenbot was a digital persona created by making an AR face-filter. The work had an interactive element which meant the filter could be used by anyone on the Instagram platform. Carrick used face-filter to experiment with the idea of combining the mediums of technology and social media with performance art. Carrick used the filter to make a video performance of the persona singing along to Roy Orbison’s 1961 crooner hit, Crying. The work was born from her research into the AI Android/ the Cyborg portrayed in films and media and the connection between this and feminist theory. Research including the work of Joanna Walshe’s, Girl Online, Donna Haraway’s, Cyborg manifesto, the works of poet Olivia Gatwood, And digital performance artist Molly Soda. The work reflected on girlhood and her own personal reclaiming of  the label,’Girl’. Carrick started looking into Online teen culture and the curation of the “Safe Space”and “Bedroom Culture”, how that exists through social media. In particular the medium of the collage images referred to as “ mood-boards” shared on social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. Looking at how these groups of mostly teens were making, collecting and sharing pngs to create their expression of perfect life and the aspiration of how they wish to be seen. This open expression of emotions, aesthetic aspirations and search for identity is what pulled her to connect these spaces of the cyborg and the teen girl.
