XRE presents You Are BUTIFL, tackling the conversation surrounding AI fears and reflect on how we must flow with the times, whilst also commune, pausing to prevent collective pain. The show combines performance art with a state-of-the-art multimedia installation under the influence of OpenAI ChatGPT and Wombo Dream AI, representing our (biased, and heavily Western-Colonizer-influenced) collective consciousness. It is designed as a game and invites the audience on a journey to explore questions about beauty and ugliness from an interactive and playful point of view.
Registration required.
