What does it mean to create a truly autonomous machine, independent from human control? And what happens when organs live outside of a body? Could this help us understand that the power of the human body lies in its ability to be different and to take on unexpected forms and identities?
Violently entangled within the performance space are three elements: an artificially intelligent prosthesis, out-of-body organic wombs and a human body. The prosthesis uses artificial intelligence algorithms to learn in real time how to move, exist and perform on stage. The wombs live and pulsate through the activity of microbial cultures. The sounds of the performer’s body are re-synthesised and transformed into a powerful and visceral auditory experience.
