    Creative Artificial Intelligence on Stage

    [Translate to English:] Creative Artificial Intelligence on Stage

      Ilja Mirsky

      How will we interact with AI-based technology and how will we perceive human-AI interactions in our near future? By exploring theoretical and experimental ways for staging human-AI interactions this interdisciplinary practice-led Ph.D. project searches for artistic and technical answers. For the practical part artistic approaches for visualizing and modifying AI-based chatbots will be explored and tested on stage. In parallel a theoretical framework on concepts of liveness, presence and the mediality of AI will be elaborated by encompassing research and literature from technological-, performative-, cognitive- and media-related fields. As we are entering an era of responsive machines, chatbots can be seen as prototypical representatives of this development. How will social, interactive AI-based technology shape our understanding of performance, theatre, and human-AI collaboration on stage?
