Ways of [] • Zeno van den Broek / HIIIT / Les Percussions de Strasbourg

In the organizer's words:

The audience can expect a pulsating laboratory of sound, light and movement. In three phases, Ways of [ ] explores the relationship between man and machine and poses the question of how we humans relate to other forms of intelligence. In the interplay between the percussionists and the AI-controlled digital entity, a fascinating whole gradually develops.

At first, this learning system awakens: mechanical, still tentative, archaic. In the course of the game, a common language emerges before our eyes - rhythmic, organic and with increasingly autonomous musical play by the robots. In a third step, this unusual band develops its own form of consciousness: Man and machine now actually act together and as equals.

We experience a sound world of hypnotic energy, alternating between extremely precise rhythms and spontaneous wildness. Tubes of light, which are played like instruments by the musicians, create pulsating colors and a visual score of movement and energy. Ways of [ ] is a performative meditation on intelligence, consciousness and the delicate balance between humans and AI.
