Test/Break - Alien AI live: experiments in bridging the physical & virtual

We're going to be testing/breaking a new work by international artist and DSL community member Uli Ap. This session will connect audiences at Film at Lincoln Center with audiences at the GAINT gallery in the UK in real-time. This session will be co-hosted by Columbia DSL member Shar Simpson.

ALIEN AI LIVE is an immersive interactive performance and disruptive installation that “breaks” technologies and enables algorithms to subvert their functions to invent new humane technologies.

This live performance by Ap will experiment with bridging physical and virtual worlds.

ALIEN AI LIVE is part of Ap's "The Alienation Project" which explores no borders & no identity questions through investigations of a character known as the Alien-AI, who constantly transforms between artificial intelligence and alien forms of life.

Uli Ap is a London-based trans-disciplinary artist, who critically investigates technology and its relationship with society and science. Ap creates immersive interactive installations where virtual and physical experiences collide and alter participants’ mental states, disorienting video-audio-VR environments, destabilising performances, and AI–VR–BCI–Robotics situations. Uli Ap lives and works all over the globe.

*Please note that this at a special time to accommodate for international time zones.
