Culture Lab LIC at The Plaxall Gallery

BIOADAPTED is a theatre reenactment investigative documentary with actors portraying real people and scientists, paired with humorous and eerie fictional pieces about what our future might look like if the AI propagates in unethical ways that don&#x27;t serve humankind.Bioadapted employs texts about AI, some of which have been generated by GPT-3. An EEG headset will generate BCI (brain-computer-interface) instructions for the movement of an actor linked with a haptic vest and LED lights sewn into the costume. In the grand finale the audience will put GPT-4 on trial and interrogate it directly in real time.Our goal is to investigate, interrogate, and educate all while delivering a unique, interactive, science-enhanced experience using technology.&quot;﻿Bioadapted is engrossing, well paced, and consistently visually impressive, and its intermixing of fact and fiction seems quite fitting for thinking about GPT and similar A.I.s. So see it now, while it&#x27;s still only partly documentary.&quot;T﻿hinking Theatre NYCT﻿EAM:Created and Directed by Tjaša FermeWritten by Alexis Roblan, James Yu, Tjaša Ferme, including real transcripts and interviewsS﻿tarring: Arianne Banda, Juan Cardenas, Annemarie Hagenaars, Melody Munitz, Thammie Quach, Stephanie White and Nasay AnoAssistant Director: Nasay AnoTechnology and Innovation Director: Heidi BoisvertTechnology and Innovation Assistant: Jingyao ShaoSet Design: Oliver Zeller and Emily GrecoVideo Design: Jeremy BennetLighting Design: Nicole E.
