The performance unfolds from the concept of employing artificial intelligence and its growing dominance in the sphere of contemporary life and art. Crucial questions arise regarding the degree of decision-making autonomy to be granted to these AI entities, delineating the blurred boundary between the generated work and its creator, between the algorithm's autonomy and human intervention.
The artistic collective delves into the depths of AI-related technologies, shaping cybernetic and humanoid faces immersed in ethereal atmospheres and nebulous particles. Through sophisticated visual elaborations such as pixel sorting and morphing, accompanied by a suggestive and evocative soundtrack, the audience is transported into a dystopian setting, a world beyond time and space.
The entire experience is guided by the voice of an artificial Virgil, a digital narrator that amplifies and exaggerates the role of the human being within today's society. This figure, symbolizing advanced artificial intelligence, reflects upon and elucidates to the audience (including those who contributed to creating the AI itself) the complexities of human existence, prompting a profound reflection on our place in the technological universe we are crafting.
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - Who will guard the guards themselves? An eternal question that fits perfectly within the context, inviting contemplation on control and responsibility in the era of artificial intelligence.
