BIOADAPTED ~ On GPT-4

Transforma is a New York based not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to create interactive theatrical experiences at the convergence of consciousness, science and ritual. We like to dive deep in the space where science, human experience and social issues converge, enveloping the audience in an interactive experiment, which challenges status quo and opens up new perspectives. Our goal is to pioneer a new form of theatrical expression and develop a close community of artists and scientists instilled with the freedom of thinking and creating in alternative ways.W﻿e host:-﻿Theatre plays that engage science and high tech innovation in interactive experiments like BIOADAPTED-﻿Science in Theatre Festival-﻿Valentine's Day community events with interactive games and role-playing content (we connect theatre with communication skills and self development)

Elebash Recital Hall, The Graduate Center

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'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. The show ran September 7-24th at Culture Lab LIC and was hailed by the New York Times as "maverick creativity" and "sleekly designed, thoughtfully assembled". Now it's making a comeback at APAP.Our goal is to investigate, interrogate, and educate, all while delivering a unique, interactive, science-enhanced experience. Through our process of blending art and science, we make scientific, political, social and sustainability issues “digestible,” empowering audiences to become active decision makers and alert citizens protecting their own agency and human sovereignty.
