Description:
This dance involves artificial intelligence to create a dynamic, ever-changing environment within a closed space, generating unexpected social situations, pushing individuals out of their comfort zones and potentially challenging their preconceptions and biases.
In Tango in Wonderland I am looking for the connection between technology, in this case artificial intelligence, and socially sensitive topics, social sensitivity. Artificial Intelligence as an imaging approach is slowly becoming accessible to everyone; indeed, we could say that this slice of technology is present in our everyday lives. The key question is whether we can structure this technology in such a way that it conceptually serves certain sensitive topics.
