In the Rhythm of the Algorithm

About

Ever since ChatGPT went global, we are increasingly forced to raise questions in our everyday lives that, until recently, were the stuff of science fiction films and novels. The cases of AI-generated paintings and photographs that can compete and even beat human creations and win competitions show that algorithms are, to a certain extent, already rivalling humans, even in areas that were until recently considered to be the exclusive domain of homo sapiens. But where does this leave us? Will machines one day overtake us or even replace us? Will we, with the help of artificial intelligence, upgrade ourselves into superhumans so that the difference between man and machine will virtually disappear? Or will AI just wipe out millions of jobs and widen the economic gap? The performance In the Rhythm of the Algorithm tests the boundaries between machine and artist, between computational intelligence and human creativity, and endeavours to integrate different forms of artificial intelligence into a direct, live theatrical experience. Can artificial intelligence perform on stage without having a body? Can it emote, inspire and move? And above all, can AI also entertain?
