Human in the loop

Dance performance all audiences, 2023, 65'

What happens when an artificial intelligence takes part in the creation of a choregraphy ? Based on instructions generated by the AI before each performance, and discovered in real time by the performers on stage, the artistic process is revealed before our very eyes, as a witness a veritable visual laboratory of potential relationships beetween humans and artificial intelligence. Human in the loop takes a humorous, offbeat look at power relationships and questions our freedom within an oppressive, devious and often absurd structure governed by algorithms.
