What’s the future of the performing arts in the age of AI, algorithms and the metaverse? Can gen-uine human expression and agency survive? Are we witnessing the emergence of a new, post-human aesthetic? Will the gulf between online and offline, pixels and atoms, and artificial and real actors and audiences blur, or even disappear entirely? Will this convergence provoke and gener-ate unique artistic experiments beyond our wildest dreams? Are we witnessing the emergence of a new, post-human aesthetic? In this episode, we delve into these questions and many more, in the company of AI experts and theatre practitioners working with AI, robotics and generative technologies on stage.
