Ali and Josh have been thinking about robots. They wondered what would happen if they were to make a show about artificial intelligence, for fun. But then an A.I robot called Steve committed suicide, a programme invented a new language and Elon Musk called on governments to stop making autonomous weapons of mass destruction.
Come join us and spend some time thinking about robots. The workshop will be in two parts. The first will be a half an hour sharing of a performance that Ali and Josh have been working on. The material will be in the very early stages of development. The show will make it’s premier in the Summer. The second half will be a workshop that will ask questions about our fears, anxieties and possibly our excitement surrounding artificial intelligence and automation.
