One in five Canadians will experience chronic pain at least once over the course of their lifetime. Pain is fluid, influenced by genetics and sociocultural factors, and incredibly challenging to quantify. It is not only difficult to conceptualize but also a challenging experience to communicate to others. A large group of individuals at McGill are living with chronic pain and feel unseen.In this project we aim to bridge art and science to answer one of the fundamental questions of the human experience, which is "what does pain look like?" Using artificial intelligence, we plan to produce artwork derived from the testimonies of individuals at McGill living with chronic pain and share this art with the community in order to promote awareness of chronic pain conditions and create a more inclusive environment for our peers.
