La asamblea (le comité) is a performance installation based on 5 totems endowed with artificial intelligence (machine learning, neural networks...). Each totem will be able to recognize objects, people, emotions, process natural language, create music or images and thus interact between them or with the actors (or visitors) and their environment.
‘La asamblea' will be the central axis of 'Museihushugi', a dystopian science fiction story set in 2088 and focused on the works council of a well-known French alcoholic beverage. ‘Museihushugi' will be Daniel Romero's first stage play and will be premiered at the National Drama Centre in Montpellier in May 2019.
This work proposes a reflection on the new systems of control and decision-making based on algorithms, the limits of technology, technological singularity, technochauvinism, neoludism, data mining, and the current hype of automatic learning and neural networks from a political, philosophical and artistic point of view.
Activity subsidized by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Government of the Principality of Asturias
