"Guided Existential Meditations" questions the ability of the simulated (AI) self to share in a sense of introspection alongside humanity. It aims to highlight the difference between the material experiences and concerns of humanity versus the alien nature of the simulation. Imagine the near-future world in which AI is a daily, invasive part of our lives. Can the invasion ever be welcome? Or, will it always be a little bit jarring – a little bit uncanny? OPENING NIGHT CELEBRATION: Friday 31st May, 6 - 8.30pm
