Human in the loop

performance
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 to 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.
