What happens when you bring humans, machines, folk traditions, audiences, algorithms, and accidents together?
Robot vacuum cleaners following hidden logic. AI producing moments according to patterns that most humans cannot comprehend.
I make performances where machines are allowed to breath. Algorithms behave, generate, wander, fail and suprise.
Humans and machines encounter each other and make something that neither completely controls.
Contingency is a welcome friend because unexpected things are not necessarily mistakes.
A machine behaving strangely.
An algorithm producing something unexpected.
An audience intervening.
A technical failure.
A performer slips.
The fringes of life, the unexplained glow.
Magic happens when you stop insisting that everything needs to be explained or controlled.
I'd like us all to experience the magic together.
