The MiR is one of the eleven institutions selected nationwide in the "Art & AI" funding program of the German Federal Cultural Foundation. As part of the funding, MiR.LAB is developing a new interactive music theater entitled "The System Cannot Fail". The New York artist and media researcher Dr. Ellen Pearlman forms the artistic team with LAB director Nora Krahl and Barış Pekçağlıyan. Over a period of 2.5 years, they are researching how artificial intelligence influences memory, identity and creativity. The intensive work phase on the AI opera project begins with Dr. Ellen Pearlman's two-week residency in Gelsenkirchen. On November 18, the team invites you to an artist talk and provides insights into their work at the interface of performance, technology and consciousness. They will discuss the opportunities and risks of artificial creativity and the role of the audience in interactive AI performances.
