LIVE FROM THE BLACK BOX!
LIVE FROM THE BLACK BOX!
A DIY, live-streamed glimpse into the black boxes of AI computation, scientific theory, experimental theatre, and weird pedagogies.
Tune in to THE hallucinatory experiment in seeing what remains to be (un)seen BELOW!
On Saturday, February 8, 2024, from 1–2 PM EST, we presented a one-hour live-streamed performance that explored the black-boxed systems shaping today’s learning machines through hands-on experiments with AI, algorithms, and computational tools. The project involved experiments with:
Recursive Loops!
Energetic demands!
virtual manifestations!
glitched imaginations!
machinic dreams!
warped memories!
Recursive Loops! Energetic demands! virtual manifestations! glitched imaginations! machinic dreams! warped memories!
As learning machines ourselves, we were immersed in a week-long research-creation residency inside Concordia’s Black Box theatre where we traced -in weird ways!- how black-boxed systems simultaneously reveal and conceal processes of knowledge-making and subject-formation
This event is made possible by so many incredible folks! Special thanks to AJ Little, Catlin W. Kuzyk, Mark Baehr and the fine folks at the CDA (Concordia), and the Faculty of Fine Arts (Concordia).
