A event held at Arnolfini on Wednesday 28th June. The event starts at 20:00.
Seven years since the very first audience test, we are extremely proud to present the 100th performance of I am Echoborg.
I am Echoborg is a funny, thought-provoking live show created afresh each time by the audience in conversation with an artificial intelligence.
Are you ready to join a team of brave souls to negotiate the future of humanity with a sassy, know-it-all artificial intelligence on the cusp of what looks like sentience? The content and tone of each show, as well as the ending are different each time depending on the conversation they have.
The event, which will be filmed, will be supported by the Digital Cultures Research Centre of the University of the West of England. Marie-Helene Boyd will be the echoborg and Dan Obi will host. Rik Lander and Phil D. Hall will also welcome the originators of the echoborg concept, Kevin Corti, PhD and Prof. Alex Gillespie, as special guests.
Doors open 7:45, show at 8pm.
