Exquisite Dancing Bodies Meeting Fervent Classic Tunes – An Orchestration of Future Visions for the Human Race
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving exponentially, and even starting to develop its own self-consciousness. The boundaries of human cognition are becoming less defined… Can humans take charge of technology, or will they be replaced by it? An intersection of time and space, a clash of the classic and the futuristic, and a battle between the flesh and a mysterious mastermind will take place on stage. In the thick of external commands and self-consciousness, is autonomy still possible? Is the thrill from the struggle between autonomy and manipulation quantifiable?
Intermediate generation choreographer Justyne Li shows care towards humanity and the present era, along with her curiosity. After three years of cultivation, her short work Ode to Joy has been reshaped with her idiosyncratic contemporary vocabulary, guiding dance artists to push their bodies beyond their imagination. A tug-of-war between the flesh and technology is looming on the horizon. The audience is invited to enter a programmed realm in another dimension of time and space, and witness the dancing bodies oscillate between two extreme mental states.
In the 0 and 1 computer world, explore the intricated connections between human autonomy and the constantly progressing technology. Let’s open the ‘Pandora’s Box’ of artificial intelligence on stage.
